Mona Kahlil, a well-known Lebanese sea turtle conservationist, dies after injuries sustained in an Israeli airstrike near Tyre, Lebanon, according to multiple reports. Kahlil spent decades protecting endangered sea turtles that nest on a beach in southern Lebanon, near Tyre, and had run a guesthouse while working on conservation efforts. Several outlets say her home, located near the beach, is hit in the attack. The BBC and other sources report that she refuses to leave the beach area she had spent years protecting. The BBC and the Jerusalem Post also report that her assistant is injured in the strike, with burns noted in at least one account. NPR says the strike occurs about two weeks before her death, and that Kahlil is credited with helping build a conservation movement focused on protecting turtle nesting grounds in southern Lebanon. The reports are consistent that Kahlil’s death follows the airstrike and is attributed to injuries from that attack, with the location described as near Tyre and the beach area tied to the turtles’ nesting site.
