Twenty-one killed in Baalbek-Hermel: Health ministry
Lebanon’s Public Health Emergency Operations Center, affiliated with the country’s Ministry of Public Health, says that a preliminary death toll from Israeli strikes on eastern Lebanon’s Baalbek-Hermel, in the Bekaa Valley, shows that 21 people were killed and 47 wounded.
Israel has been pounding Lebanon with air attacks all day, killing scores of people.
In Lebanon, ‘more families continue to flee’
The UN agency for Palestinian refugees has said more people are fleeing their homes in Lebanon due to the ongoing Israeli air attacks. “Over 1,400 Lebanese, Syrian and Palestinian refugees are now sheltering in seven UNRWA facilities,” the agency said in a post on X.
“Many are traumatised and scared.”
Israel army says about 120 Hezbollah targets hit in latest Lebanon strikes
The Israeli military has said it hit dozens more targets in Lebanon during a new barrage “a short while ago”. “The [air force] struck approximately 120 Hezbollah terror targets in southern Lebanon and deep inside Lebanese territory,” a military statement said.
It claimed that the targets included Hezbollah’s infrastructure and “significant headquarters used by Hezbollah’s different units”.
At least 69 people have been killed in Lebanon by Israeli attacks today alone, including 24 who were killed when two adjacent buildings were bombed by Israeli warplanes in the southern village of Ain al-Delb a short while ago.
Death toll in Israeli attack on Ain al-Delb, Lebanon rises
Lebanon’s Health Ministry says that an earlier Israeli attack on the southern town of Ain al-Delb, in which two adjacent buildings were flattened by air attacks, has killed more people than initially reported.
The ministry says that the attack killed 32 people, up from the originally reported 24.

People still trapped under rubble following Sidon area attack
A large strike has hit what are believed to be two residential buildings near Sidon, killing at least 32 people, according to the health ministry.
So far what we understand is there are still people trapped under the rubble, and waiting to be rescued. This latest attack is a part of a series of attacks throughout the day, not only in the southern part of the country, but also in the southern suburbs of Beirut.
We have been hearing and seeing sounds of explosions and plumes of smoke that follow those attacks in the suburb of Dahiyeh. We have also seen attacks in the eastern region of Bekaa. The Israeli narrative continues to be the same – that they’re targeting Hezbollah positions, strongholds and commanders.
But of course, the civilian population is now getting caught in the middle of all of this.
