Baalbek: The Israeli army's spokesperson on Thursday renewed threats against Baalbek and the neighboring towns of Ain Bourday and Douris. In a rapidly developing situation, these threats have led to heightened tensions and immediate action from local authorities. According to National News Agency - Lebanon, shortly after the warning, Baalbek's regional Civil Defense chief, Bilal Raad, received a call on his secure line from a Danish number.
