Israeli military forces launched a series of airstrikes late Tuesday into Wednesday, targeting the vicinity of towns in the Bekaa region, eastern Lebanon, resulting in several casualties. An initial report from the Public Health Emergency Operations Center, affiliated with the Lebanese Ministry of Public Health, indicated that the Israeli strikes in the Bekaa resulted in one death and 20 injuries. Specifically, the towns of Bouday and the Nabi Sheet plain were targeted.
Urgent reports described intense strikes on several areas in Baalbek, including Bouday, Sarin, Taria, and Nasriya, destroying weapons depots and strategic missile facilities belonging to Hezbollah. The preliminary toll at that moment was over six dead and twenty injured, with panic seizing the residents due to the explosions and flying debris.
Last Monday, an Israeli strike targeted a weapons depot belonging to Hezbollah in the Bekaa Valley, resulting in the injury of nine individuals, including a Syrian woman, six Lebanese citizens, a five-year-old Syrian girl, and a fifteen-year-old Syrian girl, who were treated in the emergency department.
Since over ten months ago, there has been an exchange of fire between Hezbollah and Israel alongside the Gaza war. Over the past ten months, Israeli airstrikes have regularly targeted Hezbollah fighters and missile launch sites, although strikes on weapons depots have been rare.
