At least 21 dead in Israeli air attack on northern Lebanon

The bombing in Lebanon on Monday afternoon that struck Aitou, a Maronite village near the northern city of Tripoli, hit a small apartment building, killing 21 people according to the Lebanese Red Cross. Aitou is far from Hezbollah’s power centres in Beirut and the south and east of the country. The village’s mayor, Joseph Trad, told Reuters the building had been rented to families displaced by the war.
