Lebanon’s Health Ministry says 10 people have been killed by Israeli strikes in the country’s east. Most of the casualties were reported in a single village, Al Jazeera reports.

“Ten martyrs and 26 wounded in a preliminary toll for today’s Israeli enemy strikes on the Baalbek-Hermel region,” the ministry said, adding that eight of those killed died in the village of Amhaz.

Israel had not issued evacuation orders for eastern Lebanon today.
