Israeli airstrikes on villages in northeastern Lebanon kill 10 people

Lebanon’s state news agency says two separate Israeli airstrikes on Friday in the country's northeast have killed 10 people.

The National News Agency said eight people were killed when a village home in Amhaz was destroyed while two other people were killed in the village of Taraya.

Israel intensified its airstrikes on the northeastern Baalbek-Hermel region earlier this week, killing dozens and leaving tens of thousands displaced.

Lebanese legislator Hussein Haj Hassan, who represents the region in Parliament, said that so far 60,000 people have been displaced from the area, many of them moved to safer towns and villages nearby.
