Hezbollah MP urges state to 'act immediately' after Bekaa strikes
Hezbollah legislator Ibrahim Moussawi called Friday Israeli strikes on east Lebanon "a very dangerous violation and a blatant and explicit aggression."
Two people were killed and 10 others were wounded in an overnight strike on an unofficial border crossing in eastern Lebanon, as Israel launched four strikes on the Janta border crossing in the eastern province of Baalbek, while two other strikes targeted two illegal Syria-Lebanon border crossings in northern Lebanon late Thursday and early Friday.
Moussawi said "the Lebanese state, represented by the presidency, the government and the army, is required to take immediate action."
The Israeli military said it struck "a military site that included underground infrastructure for developing and producing combat equipment, in addition to infrastructure for crossing the Syrian-Lebanese border,” used by Hezbollah in the Bekaa Valley.
The statement also accused Hezbollah of launching a reconnaissance drone toward Israel Thursday, saying it’s a violation of the ceasefire agreement that halted the Israel-Hezbollah war in late November.
