<\/p>\nIsraeli airstrikes have killed at least 10 people in Lebanon’s Bekaa Valley and another two people in a Palestinian refugee camp, the Lebanese Health Ministry has said.<\/p>\n
Hezbollah has confirmed senior leader Hussein Yaghi was killed in the Bekaa attacks.<\/p>\n
He is the son of former Hezbollah MP Mohamed Yaghi, and his funeral is set to take place on Saturday, according to Hezbollah media.<\/p>\n
Twenty-four people – including three children – were also injured in the attack.<\/p>\n
Earlier on Friday, another Israeli strike hit Ain al-Hilweh – a densely populated Palestinian refugee camp near Sidon, killing the two people.<\/p>\n
The strikes are among the deadliest reported in eastern Lebanon in recent weeks and risk rupturing a US-brokered ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah, strained by frequent accusations of violations.<\/p>\n

In a post on X on Friday evening, the Israel Defence Forces (IDF) said: “STRUCK: Hezbollah command centers used to advance terror attacks against IDF troops and Israel, in the Baalbek area in Lebanon.<\/p>\n
“Within the command centers, weapons and funds utilized by Hezbollah were being stored, constituting a violation of the understandings between Israel.”<\/p>\n
Referring to the separate strike, the IDF posted hours earlier: “In response to repeated ceasefire violations, the IDF struck a Hamas command center, from which terrorists operated, in the Ain al-Hilweh area in southern Lebanon.”<\/p>\n
Israeli airstrikes in several areas of southern Lebanon<\/a> early on Thursday morning targeted Hezbollah weapon depots, missile launchers, and other military sites, the IDF said, as reported by The Times of Israel.<\/p>\n Read more from Sky News: The strikes were the latest in the Israeli military’s campaign against Hezbollah.<\/p>\n There have been frequent airstrikes as the military says the terror group continues to try to rebuild its capabilities, contravening the US-brokered ceasefire in November 2024.<\/p>\n The truce came after more than a year of war along the border.<\/p>\n This included two months of open conflict in which a ground operation in Lebanon’s south was carried out by the IDF as it sought to enable the safe return of some 60,000 displaced residents of northern Israel.<\/p>\n
