A convoy of Hezbollah terrorists and weapons was hit in an apparent Israeli airstrike in Lebanon, according to Channel 2 reports.

The convoy was reportedly traveling through the village of Anjar, close to Lebanon’s border with Syria, when it was hit.

Anjar is located in the Bekaa Valley region, a Hezbollah stronghold in Lebanon.

Israeli airstrikes have targeted Hezbollah positions in Syria over the past several years, as part of efforts to avoid the Shia terrorist group obtaining advanced weaponry from Iran in exchange for its support of the Assad regime.

However Israeli strikes in Lebanon – Hezbollah’s heartland – have been far rarer over the past several years, and only in direct response to attacks by Hezbollah and other terrorist groups.

Updates to follow.
