Lebanon’s health ministry says that Israeli strikes in the country’s east killed one person and wounded 20 others, hours after it said four people were killed in the south, AFP reports

“Israeli enemy strikes on the Bekaa” valley killed one person “and wounded 20 others”, the health ministry said in an updated toll. The statement said one person was in critical condition while “eight children and a pregnant woman were moderately wounded”.

A Hezbollah source, requesting anonymity, said several strikes hit east Lebanon near the city of Baalbek, including the village of Nabi Sheet, without specifying what was targeted. A source from a local hospital told AFP that five children no older than 10, all from the same family, were among the wounded.
