Another Bangladeshi expatriate was killed in an Israeli drone strike in southern Lebanon early today.

The victim was Shuvo Das, 22, son of Suranjan Das and Shikha Rani Das of Shreerampur village in Satkhira’s Kalaroa upazila. He was the second among three sons and one daughter.

The attack took place around 2:00am (Bangladesh time) in the Zebdine area of Nabatieh district in southern Lebanon.

The Bangladesh Embassy in Beirut informed the family about the incident this morning, Shuvo’s elder brother Shanto Das told The Daily Star.

“We don’t have any land of our own. My father drives a rickshaw van. Shuvo was sent to Lebanon in 2024 with a loan to support the family. He worked on a cattle farm there. This morning, I received a call from the embassy that my brother had been killed in a drone strike,” Shanto said.

The deceased’s mother, Shikha Rani Das, said, “I spoke with my son on Monday night and asked him to come home next month. He told me, ‘Ma, I will come at the end of the year.’ Who knew that would be our last conversation?”

She added, “I could not see my son alive. Now, all I want is for his body to be brought back to the country.”

Family members said Shuvo could not continue his studies after SSC exams and went abroad, hoping to ease his family’s financial hardship.

HM Shaheen, officer-in-charge of Kalaroa Police Station, said they are in contact with the family of the deceased.

With Shuvo, three people from Satkhira have now been killed in Israeli drone strikes in Lebanon.

Earlier on Monday, two Bangladeshis were killed in a drone strike in the Zebdine area of southern Lebanon. The victims were Shafiqul Islam of Bhaluka Chandpur village in Satkhira Sadar upazila and Md Nahidul Islam of Kadakati village in Ashashuni upazila of the same district.
