Lebanon’s state media has said an Israeli air strike targeted the Baalbek region in the east of the country before dawn, branding it a “violation” of the fragile ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah, AFP reports.

Today’s strike near the town of Tarya did not result in casualties, the state-run National News Agency said, calling the attack the “first violation of the ceasefire agreement” in the Baalbek area.

A Lebanese security source, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the strike targeted “warehouses believed to belong to Hezbollah”.
