Israel strikes eastern Lebanese town: At least 16 killed in raids on Nabi Chit

The war has also expanded into Lebanon, where fighting between Hezbollah, a military Iran-backed group, and Israel is continuing. At least 26 people were killed in Israeli airstrikes overnight on the eastern Lebanese town of Nabi Chit, a small mountain community in the Bekaa Valley that has strong ties to Hezbollah’s leadership. Over the past week, Israel has issued evacuation warnings before launching heavy strikes on southern Lebanon and the southern suburbs of Beirut. Tens of thousands of civilians have fled the area.
