STORYLINE:
Smoke was seen rising over Beirut on Sunday morning as Israel continued to launch airstrikes across multiple areas in southern and eastern Lebanon.
In recent weeks, Israel has escalated its aerial bombardment and launched a ground invasion in Lebanon.
Beirut’s southern suburbs, which have previously faced heavy bombardment, have not been struck in the past 48 hours.
A top United Nations official said during a visit to the city Saturday that he is concerned Lebanon’s ports and airport might be taken out of service, with serious implications for getting food supplies into the county
Elsewhere, more than a dozen people were killed on Saturday in separate strikes in Maisra in the northeast of the country and Barja to the south of Beirut, according to the Lebanese Health Ministry.
The ministry said Rayak and Tal Chiha hospitals in the Bekaa Valley were damaged, while seven people were wounded in strikes on Brital and Temnine in Baalbek-Hermel province. In Nabatieh, eight people were wounded.
The total toll in Lebanon over the past year of conflict between Israel and Hezbollah is now 2,255 killed and over 10,000 wounded, according to the ministry.
More than 1,400 people have been killed since mid-September.
It isn’t clear how many were fighters.
