Israeli occupation forces persist in their brutal raids on civilians throughout various regions of Lebanon, having expanded their attacks in the past three weeks to encompass not only the villages of South Lebanon but also towns in the Bekaa and northern areas.

The violent raids also reached the heart of the capital, Beirut, and its suburb, resulting in deaths and injuries, with most casualties being women, children, and the elderly.

Israeli occupation aircraft carried out a series of raids today on the Riyaq area in the Bekaa Valley, leading to the martyrdom of five individuals, including three children, and injuring six others, according to a statement from the Public Health Emergency Operations Center of the Lebanese Ministry of Public Health, as reported by the National News Agency.
