4 killed, 10 injured in Israeli airstrike on hotel in central Lebanon

BEIRUT, Oct. 9 (Xinhua) — Four people were killed and 10 others wounded on Wednesday when an Israeli airstrike hit a hotel housing displaced civilians in central Lebanon, according to Lebanon’s National News Agency (NNA).
The attack targeted the Dar al-Salam Hotel in Wardaniyeh, a village in the Chouf district of Mount Lebanon Governorate. The hotel had been sheltering refugees who fled earlier Israeli airstrikes in southern and eastern Lebanon, the NNA reported.
Since Sept. 23, Israel has conducted extensive airstrikes across Lebanon, targeting what it claims are Hezbollah positions. The attacks have resulted in significant casualties and displaced hundreds of thousands of people throughout the country. ■
