Bangladeshi worker killed in Israeli strike on Lebanon
A Bangladeshi migrant worker was killed in an Israeli air strike in war-torn Lebanon's capital Beirut on 2 November.
The deceased, Mohammad Nizam Uddin, 31, was from Brahmanbaria's Kasba upazila.
He is the first Bangladeshi to be killed in an air strike in Lebanon.
Nizam Uddin went to Lebanon some 12 years ago as a migrant worker but didn't get the job he was supposed to when he reached the country.

The 31-year-old man, the youngest son of the family, was killed during an Israeli air strike at a coffee shop in Lebanon's capital, Beirut, on Saturday.
The release from the Bangladesh Embassy in Beirut says Nizam was on his way to work when the air strike took his life.
