9 reported dead in airstrike on Baalbek in eastern Lebanon

An Israeli airstrike hit a building in Baalbek city in northeastern Lebanon, killing at least nine people and wounding five others, Lebanon’s state media says.

The strike on Baalbek came without warning. The Israeli military did not immediately comment and the target was not clear.

Throughout the day, sporadic airstrikes targeted Beirut’s southern suburbs in a clear uptick in attacks on the area over the past two days, with the IDF issuing evacuation warnings for several locations and buildings in the suburbs.
