Israel Kills at Least 67 in Flurry of Attacks Across Eastern Lebanon

Israeli airstrikes against Lebanon have escalated dramatically in recent days, and nowhere more than the eastern Bekaa Valley, where the governor of Baalbek described this as the “most violent day” they’ve seen since the beginning of Israel’s invasion.

The overall death toll is continue to rise, but right now the reckoning is at least 67 people have been slain in strikes against multiple cities and towns in the area throughout Monday. A number of children were reportedly among the slain.

The largest attack was in Aallaq, where 16 people were killed. The national news agency said the overall toll there is expected to rise further, as they’re still recovering people from the rubble.

At least 120 people were wounded as rescue workers scramble to rescue more people across the region. That number too is likely to rise, as the Health Ministry reports that rescue workers are still active in multiple areas trying to find more survivors.
