٠٠:٠٢:٥٧Several hundred demonstrators gathered for a nighttime vigil at Place du Trocadéro in Paris on Sunday to honour the Lebanese victims of Israeli attacks, demanding an end to ongoing Israeli strikes on Lebanon.
Footage captured a poignant scene as protesters placed candles on a large Lebanese flag, which was adorned with bloody dolls representing baby victims, as well as images of those who lost their lives, including 6-year-old Amal Al Durr.
The demonstrators raised their fists and waved flags while singing national songs by renowned Lebanese artists such as Fairouz and Julia Boutros, with the iconic Eiffel Tower standing in the background.
"We can't stay alone in the face of our sadness, so we wanted to come together to find ourselves [...] We cannot allow such murderous madness to continue," expressed Hussein Mourtada, spokesperson of 'Urgence Liban.'
"What does ‘terrorists’ actually mean? I'd like to know," added Serge, a Jewish protester, "A few months old children? Are they the terrorists? Or is it the one armed with the most modern weapons in the world (referring to Israel) who's targeting civilians to kill and terrorise them, to drive them from their homes?"
Amid ongoing protests across Europe, Macron initially called for a suspension of arms shipments to Israel; however, his office later reversed his position for unannounced reasons, affirming that military support would resume.
Israel currently continues its war with Hezbollah, conducting airstrikes and ground incursions in southern Lebanon, alongside an ongoing offensive in Gaza.
Tensions escalated after the October 7, 2023 attacks which killed 1,139 people according to the Israeli side. Over 2,600 have been killed in Lebanon and over 43,000 Palestinians in Gaza at the time of publication, according to figures released by the Lebanese and Palestinian powers.
