Ankara: Zeinab Imad Yassine, a Lebanese journalist, learned of her father's death in the most unexpected manner, scrolling through her phone. Imad Yassine, 68, was killed in an Israeli strike while at his poultry farm in southern Lebanon, a place that had been central to his life for decades. Despite the increasing dangers posed by Israeli attacks, Imad refused to abandon the family business he inherited.

According to Anadolu Agency, Zeinab is now determined to seek accountability for her father's death. She has taken her case to the Human Rights Council of the United Nations, aiming to hold those responsible for the strike accountable. Zeinab has presented details and evidence of her father's killing to an official within the UN human rights system, hoping for a thorough examination and subsequent action.

Zeinab's pursuit of justice is driven by her desire to ensure her father's identity and the circumstances of his death are documented, and to challenge the broader message she believes the attack sends to civilians in southern Lebanon. She contends that the strike was a deliberate message to deter civilians from returning to the area.

The impact of the conflict extends beyond her father's death, as Zeinab no longer feels safe returning to her home in southern Lebanon. She cites the removal of olive trees by Israeli forces as evidence of the erosion of civilian life in the region. Her experience has fortified her resolve to document and speak out about the impact of the conflict on civilians, urging others to pursue accountability.

Zeinab's case highlights the broader context of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, with ongoing violence affecting both Palestinians and Lebanese. She calls for action against Israel's actions, warning that without accountability, more families will suffer similar losses.
