Israeli airstrikes in eastern Lebanon killed eight Hezbollah members, including three local commanders, late Friday, according to group officials. The strikes near Rayak in northeast Lebanon targeted what Israel described as members of Hezbollah's missile unit operating in three command centers in the Baalbek area.

Lebanese Health Ministry reported 10 total deaths and 24 wounded, including three children, without distinguishing between militants and civilians. The dead included two non-Lebanese: a Syrian man and an Ethiopian woman, while five Syrians and three Ethiopians were among the wounded. Hospital officials said the strike occurred after sunset.

The deaths come amid heightened regional tensions as the United States threatens military action against Iran if nuclear negotiations fail. Since a U.S.-brokered ceasefire in November 2024, Israel has conducted near-daily strikes against Hezbollah targets, accusing the group of rebuilding capabilities despite the agreement.
