Yohmor, Beqaa
In 1838, Eli Smith noted Yahmur as a village on the West side of the Beqaa Valley.[1] On 15 April 1996, during the seventeen day bombardment of south Lebanon by the Israeli army and air force, the hydroelectric power station on the Litani River, one kilometre north-east of Yohmor, was destroyed in an air raid.On 12 August 2006, two days before the end of the Israeli attack on Lebanon, Yohmor was blitzed by the IDF with 155mm artillery and air strikes.Unexploded bomblets littered the roads, gardens, on roofs and inside houses.In the following two months, as villagers returned to their homes, one person was killed and five injured by these weapons.
