Israeli strikes hit over two dozen Baalbek villages, leaving scores dead and widespread destruction
In Lebanon’s northeastern district, Israeli strikes hit over two dozen villages within 24 hours, leaving scores dead and many injured. Civilians report homes destroyed under claims of targeting Hezbollah sites but say no weapons were present. In Baalbek city, strikes hit residential buildings, public areas, and sites near children’s playgrounds. The attacks also threatened UNESCO-listed Roman temples, which have endured for thousands of years. Once home to a vibrant community, the area is now largely abandoned as residents flee escalating violence.
