At least 26 people have been killed in Israeli air and ground raids on the Lebanese town of Nabi Chit, in the eastern Bekaa Valley, according to the country’s official National News Agency (NNA).

There was no immediate comment from the Israeli military, which has launched numerous deadly attacks and sent ground troops into southern Lebanon, but until now not further north in the east, since the Iran-aligned Lebanese group Hezbollah fired missiles at Israel on Monday to avenge the killing of Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, joining the war.
