In a significant military escalation, Israel launched a series of heavy airstrikes on the historic city of Baalbek in Lebanon's Bekaa region this Wednesday. The strikes followed an evacuation order by the Israeli military, affecting not only the city but also its surrounding villages.

The evacuation order, issued approximately four hours prior to the commencement of the airstrikes, has led to a mass exodus of thousands of residents from the region. Security sources have confirmed the military actions, although details about potential casualties remain unavailable at this time.

Baalbek's airstrikes mark a renewed escalation of tensions in the region, with civilians caught in the crossfire and the historic area now subject to military devastation.
