Israeli airstrikes pound southern Lebanon and Bekaa Valley

The affected areas in southern Lebanon included Mahmoudiyeh, Balat, Kafr Kela, Ain el Kbir, Barghoz, Jabal al-Rihan, Al-Jbour, and the banks of the Litani River.

In the western Bekaa Valley, the towns of Ayn al-Tineh and Maidoun were also hit by the strikes. The air offensive was supported by extensive overflights of military and reconnaissance aircraft, intensifying already high tensions in the region.

No immediate reports of casualties or damage have been provided. (ILKHA)
