Civilians killed as Israel targets sites in Lebanon’s Bekaa Valley

The focus is in the Bekaa Valley because parts of it are considered Hezbollah strongholds.

The Bekaa Valley lies between the eastern mountain range and the western mountain range and behind the eastern mountain range is Syria and many believe there are roots from Syria to Hezbollah strongholds. That they can get weapons into the country and also Israel believes that there are weapons storage sites here in Bekaa Valley.

Ultimately we have seen civilians being killed.

Yesterday there was a funeral for 15 people – members of the same family that were killed here in Bekaa Valley.
