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

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

The reported strike comes after Hezbollah shot down an IDF drone over southern Lebanon earlier today, and launched heavy rockets at an army base near Kiryat Shmona.
