Baalbek, in northeastern Lebanon, has increasingly come under attack as the Israeli military expands its campaign against the Iran-backed militant group Hezbollah. Dozens of people have been killed and most of the city’s population has fled.

Lebanon's health ministry said an Israeli strike on Sunday killed 20 people, including three children, in the village of Almat, north of the capital Beirut.

American businessman and aide to president-elect Donald Trump, said he would take over the indirect negotiations between Israel and Hezbollah to end the war in Lebanon.
