Airstrike targets residential building in Mashghara town in western Bekaa, according to local media

At least two people were killed and 20 others injured in a new Israeli airstrike in the Bekaa Valley in eastern Lebanon on Sunday, local media said.

The attack targeted a residential building in the town of Mashghara in western Bekaa, the state news agency NNA reported.

Israel has escalated its airstrikes in Lebanon against what it claims are Hezbollah targets, an escalation of year-long warfare with the Lebanese group since the start of the Gaza war last year.

More than 3,600 victims have been killed by Israeli attacks in Lebanon, with more than 15,300 injured and over 1 million displaced since last October, according to Lebanese health authorities.

Tel Aviv expanded the conflict by launching a ground assault into southern Lebanon on Oct. 1.
