Casualties in Lebanon car bomb targeting Hezbollah

A suicide car bomb blast has exploded near a Hezbollah base in eastern Lebanon in the latest deadly attack to target the Shia militant group’s interests in the country.

The Lebanese National News Agency said the bomber detonated his vehicle in the remote area of eastern Bekaa Valley near the village of Sbouba in the Baalbek region, roughly one mile from a base belonging to the Iranian-backed group.
