Israeli strikes on Lebanon’s Beqaa Valley killed 12 people, the region’s governor, Bachir Khodr, tells Reuters, in the deadliest air strikes since last year’s truce ended months of fighting between terror group Hezbollah and Israel, APA reports citing Times of Israel.
A security source tells Reuters that five of the dead were Hezbollah operatives. Khodr says seven of the dead were Syrian nationals, who often work in the agricultural fields of the Beqaa region.
Israel said the airstrikes deep inside Lebanon were aimed at stopping an elite Hezbollah unit from regrouping and rebuilding its strength.
