Five Israeli strikes reportedly hit eastern Lebanon, near Syrian border

BEIRUT, Lebanon — Israel carried out five airstrikes late Friday in eastern Lebanon near the Syrian border after calling for the evacuation of two areas in the south of the country, the state news agency says.

The National News Agency says Israeli warplanes struck shortly before midnight, targeting the Nabi Sreij area on the outskirts of the eastern town of Brital, which had been spared from attacks since an April 17 ceasefire.
