An Israeli airstrike targeting a civil defense center in Baalbek resulted in the deaths of at least 12 Lebanese rescue workers, according to local health officials. The attack has intensified the growing regional conflict, which has seen multiple Israeli strikes across Lebanon and Syria.

Emergency crews in Lebanon have been working through the rubble to uncover any survivors still trapped after the destructive attack on the rescue center. Lebanese civil defense forces, unaffiliated with Hezbollah, play a vital role in providing emergency services in the conflict-torn nation.

In response to recent attacks, the Israeli military reported targeting infrastructure and command centers of the Islamic Jihad militant group. The hostilities have spilled over borders, influencing Lebanon, Syria, and engaging parties across the region, resulting in thousands of casualties.
