Israel has expanded its strikes across Lebanon, targeting a building in Baalbek, another in Aramoun, a residential apartment in Saadiyat, and a hotel in the Hazmieh–Baabda area.

 

At night, Israeli aircraft struck the Comfort Hotel in Baabda, causing damage to several of its floors.


The municipal police, in coordination with the Lebanese army, temporarily closed the roads around the hotel until the wounded were evacuated and their safety ensured.

Meanwhile, the Baabda–Louaizeh municipality urged the public not to be swayed by rumors or misleading statements, to rely only on information issued by official sources, and to cooperate with the relevant authorities to facilitate their work and ensure public safety.
