Israeli airstrikes in eastern Lebanon kill 8 Hezbollah members, officials say

  • On Saturday, Israeli airstrikes in eastern Lebanon killed eight members of Hezbollah, two officials said, while Lebanon's Health Ministry put the overall death toll at 10 near Rayak.
  • The Israeli military said it targeted `several terrorists of Hezbollah's missile array in three different command centres in the Baalbek area`, accusing Hezbollah of rearming since the November 2024 ceasefire.
  • Rayak Hospital reported receiving 21 wounded including three children, while Lebanon's health authorities said 24 were injured and three local commanders, Ali al-Moussawi, Mohammed al-Moussawi and Hussein Yaghi, were killed.
  • Lebanese President Joseph Aoun condemned the attacks as `a blatant act of aggression aimed at thwarting diplomatic efforts` and Hezbollah urged Beirut to suspend the multinational ceasefire committee's meetings until the enemy ceases attacks.
  • Amid rising US–Iran tensions, the unusually high death toll from Friday’s strikes comes as the multinational ceasefire committee, including the United States, is scheduled to meet next week.
