Rihab Faour , 33 , fled her home in Dahieh , a suburb of Beirut , in October 2023 .

She and her husband, Saeed , gathered their daughters Tia , eight , and Naya , six , and fled to their parents’ house.

But before their first day could arrive, Israel expanded its bombing of Lebanon to include parts of Beirut .

It was using large, bunker-busting bombs, each capable of destroying a residential building.

Rihab 's back and arm were badly injured and she needed at least two operations.

DNA tests would be required to confirm that Naya had been killed, as well as another girl her age.

Eleven days after the strike, the DNA test confirmed that Tia was dead, and on the 15th day a hospital psychiatrist told Rihab that Saeed and the girls were gone.
