This is what happens when terrorists use heritage sites for their acts of terrorism, in contravention of the Rules of Armed Conflict.

The Israeli military has told residents of the entire city to leave Baalbek, in Lebanon's eastern Bekaa Valley, which houses one of the biggest and best preserved complexes of Greco-Roman and Phoenician temples in the Levant.

The surrounding city has come under repeated attack from Israel which says leaders of the Iran-backed Shi'ite movement Hezbollah shelter there.

Fear and dread took hold of me,
so that all my bones trembled with fear.

It's a carnage. The angels they promised us are not and will not come.

Israel gets the entire Bekaa Valley, with the Latani.
