Lebanon’s Ministry of Public Health has said the Israeli raid on Almat in Lebanon’s Mount Lebanon province has killed 23 people, including seven children. The ministry added that the death toll is likely to climb, Al Jazeera reports.

Another six people have been wounded in the attack.

Three people were also killed and two others wounded in an Israeli strike on Mashghara in the western part of Lebanon’s Bekaa Valley late on Saturday, while one person was killed and four others injured in a strike on Sahmar, also in western Bekaa, that occurred the same night, the health ministry added.
