Lebanese media outlets are reporting an Israeli airstrike in northeastern Lebanon’s Baalbek District.

The strike is reported near the town of Iaat.

Footage posted to social media shows smoke rising from a targeted site.

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

The strike, deep in Lebanon, comes following a drone attack carried out by Hezbollah today that wounded 14 soldiers and four civilians.
