- A Particularly Violent Saturday in the South, Baalbeck Targeted
Two Israeli missile strikes hit the Baalbek region at around 10 pm, particularly near the village of Chmestar. The airstrike is reported to have targeted the farm of Qaryat al-Sabaa, one of the villages of Beit Meshik in the Wadi al-Owaini area, which is located northwest of the town of Taraya.
According to the Israeli army, the air force bombed a target in Baalbek 80 kilometers from the border, in response to the shooting down of the drone.
Some media outlets state the missiles targeted a training camp and a weapons factory. Preliminary information indicated injuries, as ambulance teams transported the wounded from the site of the airstrike.
Earlier in the day, Hezbollah announced that it had shot down an Israeli drone with a surface-to-air missile in the Deir Kifa region. The drone is of the Hermes 900 type, one of the army's largest and most expensive. It was the fourth Israeli drone to be shot down by Hezbollah since October 8.
A little later, the Lebanese army announced that it had detonated the rocket on the drone.
Later in the afternoon, the Israelis targeted a van carrying the debris from the downed drone over Deir Kifa.
