Jerusalem: The Israeli military said that its air force struck a Hezbollah target in the Bekaa Valley in eastern Lebanon. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said in a statement on Saturday that the strike targeted a "strategic weapons manufacturing and storage site" belonging to Hezbollah.

Hezbollah, a powerful Iran-backed militia, has long been the country’s dominant political force and has formed part of the government for decades.

A newly appointed U.S. envoy says she hopes Lebanese authorities are committed to making sure that the Hezbollah militant group isn't a part of the new government in any form
