Destruction from an Israeli airstrike in front of the ancient ruins in Baalbek, an Unesco World Heritage site. Israel has increasingly targeted Lebanon’s eastern city of Baalbek and the surrounding Bekaa valley, considered a bastion of Hezbollah support. The provincial governor instructed residents not to seek shelter near the ruins, as he could not guarantee they would be spared from bombing.
