Lebanon says 8 dead in Israeli strikes on east, south

BEIRUT: Lebanon said Israeli strikes on the country’s east and south killed at least eight people on Friday, with Israel’s army saying it targeted militant group Hezbollah and its Palestinian ally Hamas. A Hezbollah source told AFP that a military leader from the Iran-backed group was among the dead in the strikes in the eastern Bekaa Valley. Israel has kept up regular strikes on Lebanon despite a November 2024 ceasefire that sought to halt more than a year of hostilities with Hezbollah, usually saying it is targeting the group but occasionally also Hamas militants.
