**The exact number of deaths for today was not available, largely to the delay in collecting bodies from under rubble after a devastating strike on Beirut’s southern suburb. Six people, including three children, died in Burg Ashamali, three in Gibseet, three in Shaath, three in Ali Annahr, two in Kilya and Baalbek, and one in Kaakaa-iyyiy Al jisir.
