Big Hizballah stronghold..Bekaa valley. It's way into the country and not far from Syria.

And- as an aside- one of the areas where potentially the WMD's went..

Israeli Planes Hit 5 Suspected Hezbollah Sites -Witnesses

Tuesday August 1st, 2006 / 21h55

BEIRUT (AP)--Israeli warplanes late Tuesday attacked at least five suspected Hezbollah positions near Baalbek in eastern Lebanon's Bekaa Valley, three hours before the official end of a two-day pause in the air war.

Witnesses said fighter jets and helicopters were still above Baalbek. There was no information immediately available on what was hit or if there were casualties. The ancient city of Baalbek, a major Hezbollah stronghold, repeatedly has been pounded by Israeli fighter jets since the fighting began 21 days ago.
