Lebanese media report Israeli airstrikes in Baalbek and the Beqaa Valley region of northeast Lebanon.

According to MTV Lebanon, at least 10 strikes have been reported in Baalbek and surrounding towns since 1 a.m. The station publishes footage from the town of Douris, south Baalbek, that shows a building on fire.

The raids are also reported by the pro-Hezbollah al-Meyadeen news outlet.

Baalbek, identified in the past as a Hezbollah stronghold, is around 100 kilometers (60 miles) from the Israeli border, near the frontier with Syria.

The area has been targeted several times since Israel launched its intensified offensive against Hezbollah late last month.
