Lebanese health ministry says 1 killed, 19 wounded in Israeli strikes on Bekaa Valley
Lebanon’s health ministry says early Wednesday that Israeli strikes in the country’s east killed one person, just over a day after similar strikes in the area.
“Israeli enemy strikes on the Bekaa” Valley killed one person “and wounded 19 others,” the health ministry says, noting the toll was provisional and without saying if they were civilians or fighters.
The strikes around midnight come little more than a day after similar raids in the Bekaa region that Israel said targeted “Hezbollah weapons storage facilities.”
