At least 16 people were killed and 35 others injured in Israeli airstrikes on the Bekaa Valley of eastern Lebanon, the Health Ministry said Saturday, Anadolu reports.
A series of Israeli airstrikes on the town of Nabi Chit in Baalbek resulted in a preliminary toll of 16 fatalities and 35 injuries, the ministry said in a statement carried by Lebanon’s National News Agency, NNA.
Clashes took place on the heights of the eastern mountain range along the Lebanese-Syrian border on the Nabi Chit–Hamm axis, aimed at repelling attempted Israeli landings, the agency reported early Saturday.
