Baalbek's Ancient Ruins At Risk By Israeli Bombing - Lebanon

File photo dated July 17, 2022 of the Temple of Bacchus at sunset, part of the Baalbek archaeological site in Lebanon's Beqaa Valley. 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 November 6, 2024, 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.
