AI Summary

medium article 2 min

At least ten people were killed in Israeli air strikes on eastern Lebanon, according to state media reports. The strikes targeted sites in the Bekaa Valley, allegedly belonging to Hezbollah, which Israel claims violated existing agreements. A senior Hezbollah official was among the fatalities. These strikes are among the deadliest in Lebanon since the November 2024 ceasefire that ended the conflict between Israel and Hezbollah. The Bekaa attack followed an earlier Israeli strike on a Palestinian refugee camp in southern Lebanon, where a Hamas command center was reportedly targeted, resulting in two deaths. Israel has conducted near-daily strikes on Lebanon since the ceasefire, following 13 months of conflict.
