BAALBEK, Lebanon — Several strikes hit Lebanon’s eastern Baalbek region, a Hezbollah stronghold, after the Israeli army issued an evacuation warning for the area, an AFP correspondent says.
The correspondent reports at least three strikes on the area, which has seen heavy air raids in recent days by Israel. A month ago Israel stepped up its battle against the Lebanese terror group, which has been firing rockets and explosive drones into Israel for over a year.
