BEIRUT, Lebanon — Lebanon says an Israeli strike on the country’s east killed at least five people today.
“The Israeli strike on Masnaa Road resulted in a preliminary toll of five deaths and ten injuries,” the Lebanese health ministry says in a statement. The state-run National News Agency reports that the strike hit a vehicle in the area, near a border crossing with Syria.
The reported strike came as Lebanon’s government was discussing Hezbollah’s disarmament.
