A group of Moldovan citizens who had been living in Lebanon say they had to flee with their children, leaving nothing behind, in the wake of Israeli air attacks targeting Hezbollah. The 11 returnees, mostly mothers, sons, and daughters, were flown to safety in Chisinau by aid organizations and arrived on October 3. Hezbollah is both a militant group and political party that controls much of southern Lebanon. It is designated as a terrorist organization by the United States, while the European Union blacklists its armed wing but not its political party, which has seats in the Lebanese parliament.
