******* launches strikes on eastern Lebanon

******* has launched air strikes on eastern Lebanon, hitting what it said were Hezbollah infrastructure sites after the armed group downed an ******** drone.

The ******** army said in a statement that fighter jets struck a military complex and three other infrastructure sites belonging to Hezbollah in the eastern city of Baalbek early on Sunday.

It said the latest ******* was in response to Iran-backed Hezbollah’s downing of an unmanned aerial vehicle in Lebanese airspace, which the group identified as the ********-made Hermes 900 drone.

Hezbollah has been trading ***** with ******* across Lebanon’s southern border since October 8, a day after the ************ group ****** launched an ******* on ******* that sparked *******’s war in Gaza and led to escalating regional tensions.

******** shelling has ******* around 270 Hezbollah fighters and around 50 civilians. In southern Lebanon some 90,000 people have also been displaced, while more than 96,000 Israelis have been displaced from the country’s northern border area.

The US and other countries have sought a diplomatic resolution to the exchanges of ***** between Hezbollah and *******. Hezbollah said it would not halt ***** before a ceasefire is implemented in Gaza.

Two security sources said the latest ******** ******* on Lebanon targeted a training camp belonging to Hezbollah in Janta village near the border with Syria and the town of Safri near Baalbek.

There were no reported casualties from the strikes, the sources said.
