Tel Aviv: A few hours after an Israeli drone was shot down over Lebanon, two Lebanese security sources told Reuters that Israel had begun airstrikes on the Bekaa Valley in eastern Lebanon early on Sunday.
According to the sources, Israel attacked a Hezbollah training centre located in the village of Janta, close to the Syrian border. According to the sources, one of the hits was intended for the village of Safri, which is close to the eastern city of Baalbek.
Since October 8, Hezbollah and Israel have been exchanging gunfire across Lebanon’s southern border. This came the day after Hamas, a Palestinian organization, attacked Israel, sparking an increase in tensions throughout the region. The group with support from Iran took credit for shooting down an Israeli drone earlier on Saturday.
According to a statement released by Hezbollah, the Israeli army drone that was shot down over Lebanese territory on Saturday evening, April 6, 2024, by Islamic resistance fighters was of the Hermez 900 kind.
