An Israeli airstrike hit a house in Aalmat, in the hills of the Jbeil district, on Sunday morning, according to information from multiple sources, including the state-run National News Agency (NNA).
A local source contacted by L'Orient Today said the bombing targeted a house belonging to the Haidar Ahmad family. Its owners are abroad, but displaced persons had moved in. At least 25 people were in the building at the time of the strike.
Aalmat is 50 km north of Beirut and over 120 km from Lebanon's southern border.
On Oct. 24, a strike had already hit the outskirts of this Shiite majority village in the Jbeil area without causing casualties. A month earlier, on Sept. 23, the first day of the expanded Israeli offensive on Lebanon, a missile also struck the mountains in the region.
