An Israeli air raid has hit the town of Mashghara, in Lebanon’s eastern Beqaa region, after the military issued a forced evacuation order for Mashghara and Sahma, Al Jazeera reports, citing the National News Agency.

The state-run news agency also says three Israeli air strikes targeted the vicinity of the Qaraoun Dam, Lebanon’s largest dam, in the Beqaa Valley.

In the Tyre district of southern Lebanon, Civil Defence personnel have recovered the bodies of four women from under the rubble of a home in the town of Maraka.
