On April 10, hundreds of people gathered in Dearborn, Michigan, home to the largest Lebanese population in the United States, for a candlelight vigil organized by community members with family ties to Lebanon in honor of the victims of the Israeli bombing.

Last week, the Israeli military dropped 160 munitions across over 100 sites in just 10 minutes, killing over 300 people and leaving a further 1,150 wounded. The massacre came less than 24 hours after US President Donald Trump announced a temporary ceasefire with Iran.

Since October 2023, the US and Israel have waged war in Gaza, the West Bank, Lebanon, Syria, Yemen and Iran. The combined death toll across the region runs into the tens of thousands.

The World Socialist Web Site spoke with attendees about why they came to the vigil.
