Israel has levelled a building in east Lebanon and vowed a response to Iran's 300 missile attack - as the Middle East holds its breath amid fears of World War III.
A source within Lebanon's Iran-backed Hezbollah group said Israel struck one of its buildings close to the Syrian border today, as tensions soared after Iran directly attacked Israel.
The source told news agency AFP: 'The Israeli strike targeted an area... near Baalbek and targeted a two-storey building belonging to Hezbollah,' adding that there were no casualties reported.
Lebanon's state-run National News Agency also reported that 'an enemy air strike targeted a building' in the village of Nabi Sheet and 'destroyed it'.
The IDF later confirmed the strike on the 'significant weapons manufacturing site' in the Nabi Sheet area.
It comes after Israel said it 'foiled' Iran's unprecedented attack on its country and revealed 120 ballistic missiles along with 200 drones were used.
The strike marks the first time a direct military assault has been launched by Tehran on Israel despite decades enmity dating back to the country's 1979 Islamic Revolution.
