Israeli jets bomb eastern Lebanon for the first time since Gaza war began

Al Jazeera  

Hezbollah says at least two killed in attack near Baalbek, its stronghold some 100km from the border with Israel. At least two people were killed on Monday after Israeli military planes carried out three air strikes on the outskirts of Buday village near Baalbek, a Hezbollah stronghold in the Bekaa Valley about 100km from the Israel-Lebanon border. The attacks targeted a convoy of trucks, with the Israeli military saying it struck “Hezbollah terror targets deep inside Lebanon”. Confirming the strikes, Israel’s army said its jets targeted sites used by Hezbollah for its aerial defence system, adding that they came “in response to the launch of a surface-to-air missile” that downed an Israeli drone earlier on Monday in southern Lebanon, where most Israeli attacks had happened so far. The Israeli military said later on Monday evening it had killed Hassan Salami, a senior officer of Hezbollah, in the Hujair Valley region in southern Lebanon, adding that he was responsible for carrying out rocket attacks on northern Israel.
