Israeli air strikes this morning also killed at least 40 civilians in Lebanon, according to wire stories released at 1pm, EDT. Reuters reports that an air strike “hit a farm in Qua, close to the Syrian border in the Bekaa Valley where workers, mostly Syrian Kurds, were loading plums and peaches into trucks.” The report says, “Thirty-three people were killed and 20 wounded.”
The Lebanese government reports that between 800,000 and 1 million people have become refugees -- amounting to nearly one-fourth of the entire population.
