Lebanon's Ancient Ruins Endangered Amid Escalating Israeli Strikes

Archaeologists are warning of the potential risk to Lebanon's ancient Roman ruins in Baalbek and Tyre due to Israeli air strikes targeting Hezbollah. Although no damage to the sites has been reported, the proximity of the strikes has raised concerns about the preservation of these UNESCO World Heritage sites. The Israeli Defense Forces claim to target only military sites, but the strikes have been alarmingly close to these historical landmarks, prompting fears of accidental damage. The situation highlights the broader impact of conflict on cultural heritage.
