Israel Unleashes Major Airstrikes On Syria & Deep Inside Lebanon
The Israel Defence Forces (IDF) confirmed on Tuesday another rare strike conducted deep into Lebanese territory. The strikes targeted “a military compound used by Hezbollah’s aerial unit” in the Baalbek District, which is in the northeast of the country.
This marks the deepest Israeli strike inside Lebanon since the war began in the wake of the October 7 Hamas terror attack, at more than 110km from Israel’s border.
The extent of casualties or damage remains unclear, but it follows a similar February strike on the Bekaa Valley some 100km from the Israeli border, which killed at least two people. There are growing fears that if such strikes become more regular, it will mean a bigger regional war could be opening up.
