Israeli strikes on Lebanon on Wednesday killed at least 300 people and injured over a thousand others, with densely populated neighborhoods in the capital, Beirut, among the hardest hit, according to the latest data provided by the Lebanese Civil Defense. The death toll is expected to rise as more bodies are found under the rubble.

Lebanese Prime Minister Nawaf Salam on Thursday declared a national day of mourning, accusing Israel of killing unarmed civilians.

Eyewitnesses recounted the moment buildings were blitzed to CGTN Stringer in Beirut. 

"Everything was gone, we saw people screaming and crying, everything was burning," one survivor said.

"Neighbors we knew and saw every day are now gone." 

Another witness called the strikes "criminal, barbaric and savage," questioning who would do such a thing. They all echoed the same feeling: "No place is safe."
