  • Wohl 265 Tote und 1.165 Verletzte allein Gestern in 10 Minuten im Libanon.

    Lebanon has declared Thursday a national day of mourning after Israeli strikes killed at least 254 people and wounded 1,165 others on Wednesday, marking the deadliest day of the 2026 conflict just hours after a ceasefire between the United States and Iran was announced.

    […]

    Among the deadliest attacks, an Israeli strike hit a cemetery in the Bekaa Valley village of Shmestar during a funeral, killing at least 10 mourners and wounding four others.

    The Lebanese National News Agency reported the strike directly hit the cemetery where the service was being held.

    In the coastal town of Adloun, south of Sidon, three girls were killed in a separate strike.

    ‘This is a residential area. There is nothing here,’ said Mohammed Balouza, a member of Beirut’s municipal council, at one of the strike sites.

    UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Turk described the scale of killing as ‘horrific’. ‘Such carnage, within hours of agreeing to a ceasefire with Iran, defies belief,’ he said.

    The International Rescue Committee warned that over 1 million people were displaced. More than 1,500 people have been killed since the war began in March. Lebanon’s humanitarian crisis is worsening rapidly.

    Health Minister Rakan Nassereddine called the situation ‘catastrophic’ and urged international organisations to assist the Lebanese health sector.

    Civil defence teams continued searching through damaged buildings for survivors as rescue operations stretched into the night.
