Israel Attacks Lebanon’s Beqaa Valley, Killing 12 People

HeadlineMay 26, 2026

An Israeli airstrike in Lebanon’s Beqaa Valley killed 12 people Monday, according to Lebanese state media. The strike came after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu authorized intensive military operations against Hezbollah, and as Israel called up additional troops to deploy to Lebanon. Despite last month’s ceasefire, Israel and Hezbollah have continued to exchange fire on a near-daily basis. Since March 2, over a million Lebanese have been forced to flee their homes, as Israeli attacks have killed more than 3,100 people.
