An Israeli air strike on the town of Ain Yaaqoub killed at least 14 and injured 15, marking the northernmost attack in Lebanon since the fighting began.
Charles Stratford highlighted that Ain Yaaqoub is a refuge for many Syrian and Lebanese displaced people fleeing violence, emphasizing its humanitarian significance amid ongoing conflict.
Local officials confirmed that the building targeted housed both displaced Lebanese and Syrian refugees, indicating the widespread impact on vulnerable populations due to the air strikes.
Despite Ain Yaaqoub not being a Hezbollah stronghold, Israeli forces have launched consecutive attacks in the area, raising concerns over civilian safety and humanitarian crises.
