Barja is located south of Beirut and has not been a regular target of Israeli attacks since the offensive against Lebanon began in late September.

Precisely, this Wednesday Israel attacked the province of Baalbek Hermel, in eastern Lebanon and considered one of the strongholds of Hezbollah.

According to the Lebanese National News Agency (ANN), at least five people were killed in a bombardment against the Al Shaiqan neighborhood of the historic city of Baalbek, a town that the Israeli Army has ordered to evacuate on multiple occasions in recent days.
The ANN, cited by the EFE Agency, has indicated that another seven people lost their lives in the border town with Syria of Mishrifa, where the rescue teams have also recorded “several injuries” and continue with the work of clearing debris, so the number of fatalities could increase.
On the other hand, an air attack carried out early in the morning against the city of Al Ain, in the eastern Bekaa Valley, has caused another seven deaths, two injuries and the “complete destruction of a house”, according to ANN .
In recent weeks, Israel has intensified its bombings against eastern Lebanon and border areas with Syria, alleging that Hezbollah stores weapons and ammunition in that eastern region of the country; In the past, he has accused the Shiite group of receiving this weapons from Iran, through Syrian territory.
Late this Wednesday, Israel once again attacked the southern suburbs of Beirut, which have been hit hard by aircraft and where Hezbollah leader Hasan Nasrallah was assassinated at the end of September. The Israeli Army has reported that it has attacked “command centers, weapons warehouses and terrorist infrastructure in the Dahie area,” as the large neighborhood south of the capital is called.
Since October last year, when Hezbollah and Israel began exchanging fire almost daily, 3,050 people have died in Lebanon and more than 13,000 have been injured, the vast majority in recent weeks, since the Hebrew Army began its bombing campaign. and invaded the south of the neighboring country by land.
