Some info on Baalbeek from an article in Haaretz (otherwise esentially the same info as in JPost):


Baalbek is about 100 kilometers north of the Litani River, which the Israelis had set as a northern boundary for their expanded ground operation that was announced in the early hours Tuesday.

Israeli warplanes and helicopters started the operation on Baalbek and its surroundings at 10:20 P.M.

Baalbek was a former Syrian army headquarters and included the barracks of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards when they trained Hezbollah guerrillas there in the 1980s.

Armies don't tell you where they are going, and when they do, don't believe them.

Prediction.

Hezbooligans will destroy the Ancient Roman structures and tell the world it was done by the IDF.

The Media will bark this line for weeks.

Bookmark for later.
