Lebanon witnessed another fierce round of Israeli bombardment overnight on Friday, killing at least 52 people in the country’s main governorate of Baalbek-Hermel, including children.
At least 72 were injured in the strikes, the Lebanese health ministry said.
Twelve of the victims were killed in the village of Amhaz, while nine others were killed in Younine and eight in Bednayel. Dozens more were killed across several other villages and neighbourhoods.
The Israeli army did not issue evacuation orders before it struck the villages, according to Lebanese media.
The strikes come after Israel has intensified its strikes on Baalbek and the wider Beqaa Valley in recent days, home to a majority Shia population and smaller Christian and Sunni communities. Over 50 Lebanese were killed in strikes across the district throughout Friday, while dozens were killed on Thursday.
