On Monday evening, the Israeli Army carried out a strike in Baalbeck, for the second time since Hezbollah opened the southern front on October 8, the day after the start of the war in Gaza, but also since the July 2006 war between Hezbollah and the Hebrew state.

According to preliminary information obtained by This is Beirut, between two and four missiles were fired. A wood-packing warehouse between the villages of Chmestar and Taraya was targeted, as was a two-storey building in the vicinity of al-Amal hospital in Ansar, east of Baalbeck.

One person was killed and six injured. Emergency services were dispatched to the scene.

For its part, the Israeli army claimed responsibility for the attack, saying it had targeted “a maintenance center belonging to Hezbollah”.
