Israel strikes Lebanon’s east, killing one: security source

Israeli air strikes near Lebanon’s eastern city of Baalbek killed one person, a security source said, in the second raid in the region since cross-border hostilities began after the Gaza crisis, AFP reports.

“Israeli aircraft targeted a former Hezbollah building near Dar Al Amal Hospital,” a security source told AFP, adding that Israel “conducted another raid on a warehouse west of Baalbek”.

The strikes killed one person and injured six others, he added.

The governor of the Baalbek-Hermel region, Bachir Khodr, also said a man had been killed in the strikes near Baalbek in a post on social media platform X.

Another security official confirmed the strikes, without mentioning casualties.
