Last Updated: July 23, 2025

Shortly before 11:45 PM on November 26, 2024, at least two civilians were reported killed and at least one wounded in an alleged Israeli strike on the town of Labaya in Western Bekaa, eastern Lebanon.

Several news outlets, including @PalTodayBRK and @Khabarajelnews, reported the incident on their X accounts around 11:45 PM, claiming that the attack led to two casualties and to one or two injuries. Meanwhile, sources such as @LBCI_NEWS and lbcgroup.tv indicated that a search was underway for missing individuals, while @futuretvnews and aljadeed.tv reported on ongoing rescue operations in the area of the strike.

Where sources identified the belligerent, all attributed the attack to the Israeli military. Airwars classified civilian harm status as “weak” because of the lack of corroborating information on the victims.
