Three people were wounded by Israeli air strikes on Lebanon’s eastern city of Baalbek overnight, one of which hit a two-storey building, an AFP correspondent reports.

The city is a stronghold of the Hamas ally Hezbollah and it was the third time the area had been hit in more than five months of fighting between Israel and the Lebanese movement.

The Israeli military said in a statement fighter jets “struck a Hezbollah manufacturing site containing weapons in the area of Baalbek”.

The AFP correspondent said the Israeli strikes targeted a Hezbollah centre that had been deserted for some time, wounding three residents in nearby buildings. “The Israeli air force fired five missiles at a two-storey inhabited building in al-Osseira, on the outskirts of Baalbeck,” he said.

Governor Bashir Khodr said on social media platform X that three people had been wounded.
