Israeli military fighter jets struck Hezbollah sites in Lebanon
GAZA: The Israeli military has said its fighter jets had struck Hezbollah sites in eastern Lebanon, where the group has a strong presence, in retaliation for one of its drones being shot down.
A source close to Hezbollah earlier told AFP in the Baalbek region in eastern Lebanon that the strikes had targeted Janta and Sinfri in the Bekaa Valley.
The Israeli military said on Telegram that “fighter jets struck a military complex and three other terrorist infrastructure sites belonging to Hezbollah’s air defence network” in the region.
It said the strikes were “in retaliation for the attack in which an Israel Defense Forces drone was shot down” by a surface-to-air missile on Saturday.
Janta is an arid, mountainous region close to the border with Syria, while Sifri is in the centre of the Bekaa Valley. A source in Lebanon’s Civil Defense Department said there were no casualties from the strikes.
