Two Lebanese citizens were killed and ten others have been injured in an Israeli airstrike that targeted the Bekaa region in Lebanon, Wafa reports according to the Lebanese National News Agency.

The attack took place early Friday morning, when Israeli warplanes bombed the town of Janta in the Bekaa Valley region. The strike resulted in the killing of two individuals and left ten others wounded.

In addition to the bombing in Janta, Israeli warplanes launched two additional airstrikes: one targeted a truck loaded with batteries and scrap metal in the al-Wawiyat area, while the second strike hit a location near the village of Hnaidar, northern Lebanon.
