According to multiple media reports, on the evening of August 2, local time,Israeli airstrikes hit Lebanon-Syria border

According to Israeli media and AFP, a source from Lebanon's Hezbollah said on the evening of the 2nd that the Israeli army attacked a convoy from Lebanon to Syria that day, injuring a Syrian driver. Lebanese media previously reported that several villages and towns in the Shilmile region in northeastern Lebanon near the Syrian border were hit by Israeli air strikes on the 2nd, one of which was 140 kilometers away from the Israeli border.


However, according to Israeli media reports, the Israeli military launched an airstrike on Dabaa Airport northeast of Qusayr in Homs Province, Syria, on the evening of the 2nd local time. It was reported that Hezbollah in Lebanon had smuggled weapons in the area. According to Syrian media reports, the Israeli airstrike caused fires in some farmland near the area. Hezbollah in Lebanon has not yet responded to this.

The Israeli army has launched several attacks on the Lebanese hinterland

Since the outbreak of the new round of Israeli-Palestinian conflict, the conflict between the Israeli army and the Lebanese Hezbollah on the temporary border between Israel and Lebanon has continued to intensify. The Israeli army has also repeatedly used drone attacks and fighter jets to strike deep into the heart of Lebanon, including the Bekaa Valley.

The Bekaa Valley is located in eastern Lebanon, close to the Syrian border. It is the only way to Syria and is more than 100 kilometers away from the temporary border between Lebanon and Israel.

As early as March this year, the Israeli Defense Forces launched attacks on two targets in the Bekaa Valley. The Israeli army said that their target was the command center of Hezbollah in Lebanon, and according to Lebanese news, one of the attacked sites was a factory and the other was a residential building.


In addition to attacking Lebanon's eastern and northeastern border areas near Syria, the Israeli army has also attacked areas around the Lebanese capital Beirut several times. On July 30, the Israeli army launched an attack in the southern suburbs of Beirut, killing Shukur, a senior military commander of the Lebanese Hezbollah. In addition, in January this year, an Israeli drone also attacked a house in the southern suburbs of Beirut, killing several Hamas members.
