Utter destruction in aftermath of Israeli strike on Ras al-Ayn in historic Baalbek

Al Mayadeen’s correspondent Mouhamad Sahili reported from Ras al-Ayn, Baalbek, where Israeli airstrikes have wreaked havoc on the city’s cultural and economic sites. Known for its cafes, restaurants, and heritage landmarks, Ras al-Ayn is a popular spot for tourists near the ruins of Baalbek and ancient marketplaces. Nonetheless and despite its non-military status, the area has been hit hard in recent Israeli airstrikes, killing and injuring tens of civilians. The targeted locations underscore "Israel's" strategy to weaken Lebanese cities’ economic and cultural fabric, impacting Baalbek and Tyre, Nabatieh, and Bint Jbeil in South Lebanon alike.
