At least 10 people were killed and 50 wounded in Israeli strikes in Lebanon's Bekaa Valley, with the Israeli military stating it targeted Hezbollah sites in the Baalbek area. The strikes, among the deadliest in eastern Lebanon recently, risk straining a US-brokered ceasefire.
The Israeli military reported striking Hezbollah command centers, aiming to disrupt readiness and missile array operations planning attacks on Israel. A senior Hezbollah official was confirmed among the deceased.
Previously, Israel and Hezbollah agreed to a US-brokered ceasefire in 2024. Despite this, both sides have accused each other of violations. US and Israeli officials have urged Lebanon to curb Hezbollah's arsenal, while Lebanese leaders warn of further destabilization.
In a separate incident, the Israeli military reported striking a Hamas command center in the Ain al-Hilweh refugee camp in southern Lebanon. Hamas condemned the strike, refuting Israel's claims about the target.
