Israeli Strikes Kill Dozens in Lebanon, Including 10 Paramedics

HeadlineNov 11, 2024

Israel is also continuing its assault on Lebanon despite Israeli claims that ceasefire talks are progressing. On Saturday, Israeli strikes killed 20 people in and around the ancient city of Baalbek. On Sunday, an Israeli strike on the village of Almat, north of Beirut, killed 23, including at least three children. Israel also targeted numerous villages in the West Beqaa region.

Ahmad Ali Hajj: “This is my house. I worked so hard my whole life to build it. No one helped me. I did it all by myself through hard work, to raise my family composed of seven to eight souls, and I’m still working actively. I found it all destroyed. I don’t have in it any missiles to attack the Israelis. The enemy is a butcher with no pity nor mercy at all, even for children. We’ve been resisting since our childhood until the end of our lives.”

Lebanese state media reports at least 10 paramedics were also killed over the weekend as Israel continues to target Lebanon’s health workers.
