"The strikes also hit within the city of Baalbek, an urban center that has been largely spared in Israel's recent air campaign, stoking unease that a rare pocket of relative safety in the district was no longer."
"Most of the airstrikes were concentrated in the Baalbek district, a patchwork of farmlands and villages in the valley that is home to a city of the same name. Hezbollah holds sway in parts of the district, which borders Syria."
"Residents described the barrage of strikes on Monday night and Tuesday morning as the most intense they had experienced, with at least 60 people killed, marking one of the deadliest days since the conflict escalated."
"We thought the strikes wouldn't stop until they had leveled all of Baalbek, as the sound of airstrikes and ambulance sirens echoed through the city, leaving residents in a state of fear and uncertainty."
