Al Mayadeen's correspondent in the Lebanese Bekaa reported a series of relentless Israeli raids targeting areas stretching from West Bekaa to its north and Hermel, after midnight on Monday.
The Israeli attacks expanded overnight and killed 11 citizens in an initial toll, following yesterday's toll of 60 killed.
An elderly woman was killed in an Israeli airstrike targeting a home in Nabi Othman in northern Bekaa. Strikes also targeted Sohmor, Libbaya, and Mashghara in West Bekaa.
In the Baalbek province, the city of Baalbek came under attack, as well as Hawsh al-Sayyed Ali to the north of the Hermel province, near the Lebanese-Syrian borders and Nabi Othman.
The death toll in Hermel and its surroundings has risen to 12 martyrs as a result.
The Israeli aggression also targeted the city of Jdeidat Yabous between Lebanon and Syria.
In South Lebanon, civil defense crews were able to rescue a survivor from beneath the rubble in Ain el-Delb near Saida after a massive death toll of at least 30 following search operations that lasted hours after an Israeli attack targeted the area.
During the early hours of Monday, the Israeli occupation struck the al-Bass refugee camp in Sour, South Lebanon. Several casualties were confirmed, including the head of the Teachers' Union in Lebanon at UNRWA, Fateh al-Sharif, who was killed alongside his wife, son, and daughter.
