At least one civilian was reportedly killed and six others injured, some of them seriously, by an alleged Israeli bombardment on the town of Boudai Al-Bekaa in the northern Bekaa Valley, Lebanon.

A tweet from the @LebCitizensNews reported that Israeli raids resulted in “A civilian martyr and a number of wounded in Boudai Al-Bekaa”. Al-Ahed News also identified the death of one person, in addition to the injury of six other civilians and material damage – multiple sources credited this information to the Lebanese Ministry of Health. Lebanon News on Telegram added that some of the injuries were “serious” and that the house that was “targeted” contained more than one family. No additional information was found among local sources as to the identity of the killed and injured civilians.

While a post by Ali Shtayeh referred to the attack as air strikes, some sources only mentioned that a “raid” occurred. According to @PalpostN, the incident occurred in the outskirts of the town of Boudai while the Lebanese Ministry of Health, calling the incident “shelling”, referred to the location as occurring in the outskirts of the city of Hermel.

Where sources identified the belligerent, all sources attributed the strike to the Israeli military.
