At least 45 people have died so far in air strikes carried out by Israel on villages in the northeastern region of Lebanon. Lebanese officials gave this information on Friday.
Baalbek Governor Bashir Khodr said that the death toll from air strikes on nine villages in the northeastern part of Lebanon has increased to 41. This is 17 more deaths than previously reported by Lebanon’s National News Agency (NNA).
Lebanon’s government news agency ‘NNA’ said that four people have been killed in an Israeli airstrike in the small village of Olak. Extremist organization Hezbollah has a lot of support in this village.
Israel recently carried out airstrikes in Lebanon’s southern suburb of Dahiya targeting Hezbollah positions, although no casualties have been reported so far in the attack here.
Lebanese MP Hussein Haj Hassan, who represents the Baalbek-Hermel region, said some 60,000 people had already fled their homes to safer places due to the Israeli bombardment.
