Bekaa

During the funeral, the Israeli military conducted airstrikes on south Lebanon and the Bekaa valley in the country’s east.

Throughout the war, Israel focused its attacks on predominantly Shiite Muslim communities near Beirut, in southern Lebanon and in the eastern Bekaa Valley.

Israel has stepped up its air attacks on Lebanon’s south, where it is also conducting a ground invasion, the eastern Bekaa Valley and Beirut.

Most residents of Dahieh - one of the areas where Hezbollah has a significant presence, along with southern Lebanon and the eastern Bekaa Valley - have fled because their neighbourhoods have been targeted repeatedly since September.

Many of them will be among the million or so displaced people scattered across Lebanon today - mostly from the south, the Bekaa, and Beirut’s southern suburbs.
