MP Walid Baarini of the 'National Moderation' bloc condemned the alleged Israeli airstrike on his account on platform X (formerly Twitter). "Akkar, like all Lebanon, is currently paying the price for Israeli criminality. Ain Yaaqoub is a new witness of this," he said.
Israel has conducted a ground incursion into parts of southern Lebanon, as well as an ongoing campaign of airstrikes on Hezbollah targets over the past month. Lebanon's Ministry of Health stated that 3,189 have been killed and over 14,078 injured at time of publication.
