According to a new preliminary toll from Lebanon’s Health Ministry, Israeli strikes on Nabi Sheet in the Bekaa Valley have killed at least 26 people and wounded 35.
According to the Lebanese daily Annahar, citing Hezbollah sources, four Israeli military helicopters landed troops in eastern Lebanon, and the soldiers then moved on foot toward a cemetery near Nabi Sheet. The troops were reportedly searching for the remains of Israeli pilot Ron Arad, who went missing in Lebanon in 1986, the newspaper said.
According to our correspondent Sarah Abdallah, nine of those killed were from Khreibeh, five from Nabi Sheet, one from Sariayn and one from Ali Nahri. Three Lebanese army soldiers and a member of General Security from the Shukur family were also killed.
Images provided by Abdallah show that the strikes caused extensive damage in Nabi Sheet.
