Overnight, Israeli fighter jets struck a Hezbollah compound in the Sefri area near northeastern Lebanon’s Baalbek, the military says.

Three people were lightly wounded in the strike, according to Lebanese media.

Baalbek, an area identified in the past as a Hezbollah stronghold, is around 100 kilometers from the Israeli border.

The IDF says it also struck Hezbollah positions in southern Lebanon’s Ramyeh, Ayta ash-Shab, Marwahin, and Jabal Blat last night.
