Violent raids target the eastern chain, and the sound of explosions tear the sky of the Bekaa Valley

Strong explosions rang out today in the hills of the town of Taybeh, located along the eastern mountain range east of Baalbek, which raised questions among residents about their source and the nature of military activity in the region, coinciding with intense overflights by Israeli aircraft.

The correspondent of the “Lebanon Debate” website reported that the strong sounds resulted from periodic military exercises carried out by the Lebanese army inside the shooting and training fields in the Taybeh area, interspersed with controlled explosions of weapons, stressing that what happened was not linked to any external military targeting.

In a related context, an Israeli drone reconnaissance flight was recorded at low altitude in the airspace of the Baalbek-Hermel region, in a separate field development that coincided with the training activities that the Lebanese army continues to implement in its designated fields east of Baalbek.
