Lebanon’s public health ministry said at least 10 people were killed in Israeli strikes overnight. Israel’s military said it had targeted Hezbollah command centers in the east of the country, and Hezbollah said eight of its members were among those killed. Health authorities did not identify the dead and said at least 24 people were wounded, including three children.

The attacks in the Baalbek area of the Bekaa Valley threaten to further destabilize the tenuous cease-fire that was mediated by the United States in late 2024. Israel has continued to carry out near-daily strikes on sites it says belong to Hezbollah. Hezbollah held funerals on Saturday for its members killed in the strikes, among them Hussein Mohamed Yaghi, a senior commander and the son of a prominent Hezbollah figure who died in 2023.
