'We got caught in a huge traffic jam of people fleeing the Israeli airstrikes' • FRANCE 24

"I was in Sidon and witnessed blast quite close to the place we were", said FRANCE 24's reporter in Lebanon James André. "We saw the doors move and we heard a large bang and that was indeed an Israeli airstrike just a few kilometres away in a neighbourhood. [. . .] Then, as we were leaving this meeting, we got caught in a very huge traffic jam of people fleeing the Israeli airstrikes, though we were able to speak to some of them." 🔔 Subscribe to France 24 now: https://f24.my/YTen 🔴 LIVE - Watch FRANCE 24 English 24/7 here: https://f24.my/YTliveEN 🌍 Read the latest International News and Top Stories: https://www.france24.com/en/ Like us on Facebook: https://f24.my/FBen Follow us on X (Twitter): https://f24.my/Xen Browse the news in pictures on Instagram: https://f24.my/IGen Discover our TikTok videos: https://f24.my/TKen Get the latest top stories on Telegram: https://f24.my/TGen
