Strikes hit the city: homes and hotel wrecked
Israel’s air operation over the past 24 hours has not only targeted military sites but has also widened to residential areas. Among the reported strikes: the Comfort Hotel in Hazmieh, near Beirut, was hit and heavily damaged, while in Baalbek a four-storey residential building was bombed and flattened, with a preliminary death toll of eight.
Lebanon’s Ministry of Public Health said cumulative casualties over the past three days had risen to 72 killed and more than 437 injured.
