Attack targeted small apartment building in Aitou village
On Monday, Israeli warplanes carried out an attack on a small apartment building in the northern Lebanese village of Aitou, in the Christian-majority Zgharta District. At least 22 people have been killed in the attack, according to the Lebanese Red Cross, which also wounded at least eight.
There has been no official comment from the Israeli military on why they attacked the Christian-majority village. That’s not unusual when the Israeli strike doesn’t appear to have had any military target or purpose.
Speculation is that the attack was primarily a revenge attack against Lebanon in general after a Sunday drone strike by Hezbollah against a northern Israeli military base killed four soldiers and wounded scores of others.
Alternatively, Israeli media has been speculating that the attack, again on a Christian village, “ may have targeted a senior Hezbollah leader. ” There has been no official sign that was the case, nor indeed are those making such speculation offering any name of the potential Hezbollah figure being targeted.
This northern part of Lebanon has not been considered militarily significant throughout the ongoing Israel-Hezbollah conflict, and there hadn’t been an Israeli attack anywhere near this area since the 2006 war.

Only now is it under threat.
Isn’t it interesting how, under Hamas’ rule, the Church was preserved and looked after, but now that Israel claims they are ‘liberating the Gaza Strip,’ it is under attack?
