Israeli Bombing Puts Ancient Ruins At Risk - Baalbek
This photo shows the damage caused by Israeli airstrikes inside the ancient citadel of Baalbek in Lebanon, on November 7, 2024. On Wednesday, Israeli forces targeted residential neighborhoods in Baalbek and the historic "Al-Manshiya" building, which was completely destroyed, according to Baalbek Mayor Mustafa al-Shal. For over two millennia, the Roman temples at Baalbek in eastern Lebanon have stood as some of the finest examples of Roman architecture anywhere in the world. On Wednesday, a car park just metres away from the Unesco World Heritage site was hit by an Israeli air strike. The attack, which also destroyed a centuries-old Ottoman building, highlighted what some archaeologists say is the risk of irreparable damage to historical sites across Lebanon from the current war between Israel and Hezbollah.
