At least five rockets launched from across Lebanon's border with Syria hit the eastern city of Baalbek including two that landed near the city's renowned Roman ruins, a security source told AFP.
Another three rockets that hit Hezbollah bastion Baalbek landed in the city centre, the source said on condition of anonymity, adding that several other missiles landed in areas near the city.
The attack came hours after Lebanese Shiite movement Hezbollah and the Syrian army took control of central Syria's Qusayr, located near the border with the small Mediterranean country.
