The series of attacks came after Hezbollah’s new leader said he did not think ‘political action’ would end the war.
At least 40 people have been killed in Israeli air strikes in eastern Lebanon, including the main city of Baalbek, with rescuers still looking for survivors under the rubble.
“The series of Israeli enemy strikes on the Bekaa Valley and Baalbek” killed “40 people and injured 53”, the Ministry of Public Health said of Wednesday’s attacks.
The death toll includes 11 people killed in Baalbek, nine of them in the Shikan district, a densely packed Sunni neighbourhood in the Shia-majority city.
An Israeli attack also killed 16 people in the village of Nasriyah, the ministry said.
“Rescue and rubble removal operations are still ongoing in search of missing persons,” it added.
