Three people were injured when Israel carried out airstrikes against the city of Baalbek in eastern Lebanon on the night of Saturday.

The city of Baalbek is a stronghold of the Hamas-allied Islamist movement Hezbollah. It is the third time the area has been attacked since the war in Gaza broke out.

Israel’s military said in a statement that warplanes struck a “production facility containing weapons in the Baalbek area.”
