Six children and women from one family were martyred, at dawn on Monday, in a new massacre committed by the Israeli occupation army in the "Nabi In'am" neighborhood in the city of Baalbek, east of Lebanon.

The Lebanese News Agency said, "The Israeli enemy committed a massacre against children and women in the Nabi Inam neighborhood in the city of Baalbek."

The agency added that an "enemy" drone launched a raid on the home of citizen Ali Abdo Othman, "in a neighborhood with close-knit and populated houses."

She explained that the targeting resulted in "the destruction of the building and damage to the neighboring houses, the martyrdom of 6 children and women from the Othman family, and the injury of 8 citizens in the neighborhood with injuries ranging from critical to moderate to minor, and they were transferred to hospitals."

The agency reported that the civil defense teams in the area worked to extinguish the fire in the targeted house, assist in rescue operations, and retrieve the bodies of the dead from under the rubble.

Volunteers from the Islamic Health Authority, the Lebanese Red Cross, and the Palestinian Al-Shifa Society participated in the search and rescue operations, according to the agency.
