Three people were wounded by Israeli air strikes on Lebanon’s eastern city of Baalbek overnight, one of which hit a two-story building, an AFP correspondent says
The city is a stronghold of the Hamas ally Hezbollah, and it is the third time the area has been hit in more than five months of fighting between Israel and the Iran-backed Lebanese terror group.
The AFP correspondent says the Israeli strikes targeted a Hezbollah site that had been deserted for some time, wounding three residents in nearby buildings.
“The Israeli air force fired five missiles at a two-story inhabited building in al-Osseira, on the outskirts of Baalbeck,” he says.
Governor Bashir Khodr says on social media platform X that three people had been wounded.
The strike at al-Osseira, some 100 kilometers (62 miles) from the Israeli-Lebanese border, ends a period of relative calm that had lasted around 10 days.
