Night strike on Lebanon apartment block leaves dozens dead in Barja town

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
