Some 50,000 people have fled the Lebanese city of Baalbek as Israel launches a series of strikes against Hezbollah.
More than 20 strikes were reported in the Baalbek area, local people told the 大象传媒 - with five inside the city itself, where there is a Unesco-listed ancient Roman temple complex. We'll hear from a local MP on the situation.
