Israeli air-strike hit residential building in Lebanese town of Barja during night hours. Local civil defense teams found multiple casualties while searching through destroyed structure

Lebanese emergency teams worked through the ruins of a residential complex in Barja town‚ where an unexpected air-strike turned the quiet night of nov 5th into tragedy

The pre-dawn attack left a multi-story building in ruins — rescue workers from Lebanons Civil Defense pulled out 30 bodies from beneath concrete and twisted metal (the search continues as more people might be trapped)

The night-time strike happened without any advance notice; local residents didnt have time to seek shelter. Officials from Barjas civil defense teams worked non-stop to reach possible survivors but the scale of destruction made rescue work very challenging

The Israeli military hasnt provided any details about the intended target of this air-strike: no official statement was released about reasons for the attack. The strike fits into wider pattern of cross-border military actions that started earlier this fall
