Hezbollah says at least two of its members killed in IDF strike on Baalbek

The Hezbollah terror group says that at least two of its members were killed after IDF airstrikes near the northeastern Lebanese city of Baalbek — the deepest attack yet into Lebanon since the start of Israel’s war against Hamas.

A Hezbollah official confirms that three strikes hit near Baalbek. He says the strikes killed at least two people and claims that one hit a warehouse for food products that’s part of Hezbollah’s Sajjad Project, which sells to people in its stronghold at prices lower than on the market.

The strikes hit an area some 18 kilometers (11 miles) from the city of Baalbek. Part of the Bekaa Valley region bordering Syria, the area is a political stronghold of the Shiite group Hezbollah. The sources said Israel had carried out two simultaneous strikes.

Lebanese television station Al-Jadeed broadcasts images of plumes of smoke rising from the area.
