Lebanese sources report drone activity over Baalbek in the Bekaa Valley, according to Arab media relayed by security analyst Yair Goldblatt. The Israeli military has not commented on the reports.
Lebanese sources reported Tuesday evening that drones are flying over Baalbek in the Bekaa Valley, deep inside Lebanese territory. The information was relayed through Arab media by Yair Goldblatt, a security analyst and commentator. The nature and origin of the drones remain unconfirmed, though the area has been a frequent focus of Israeli air activity in recent weeks. The Israeli military has not issued a statement.
This report follows a pattern of aerial activity over the Baalbek area: The Zioneer previously reported on fighter jet movements over the city on June 14, and on IDF strikes targeting Hezbollah positions near Baalbek on June 11 and June 19. The June 19 strike was described as an unusual long-range attack, approximately 85 km from the Israeli border. Whether tonight's drone movements are a continuation of that operational tempo or a different type of activity is not yet clear.
No strikes, explosions, or casualties have been reported in connection with the drone sightings so far.
