Lebanese media report Israeli airstrikes in northeastern Lebanon’s Baalbek, a Hezbollah stronghold some 100 kilometers from the border.

The reports describe the Israeli strike as the largest in the Baalbek region amid the war. They also say multiple targets were hit in the Nabi Chit and Brital areas.

The strikes come after the terror group launched an explosive-laden drone, striking an area deep in northern Israel, marking the furthest attack carried out amid the war.
