The Israeli military said the attacks were aimed at Hezbollah infrastructure in southern Lebanon, while reports indicated that several raids struck open areas in forest and hilly locations. Israeli warplanes were also seen flying over southern Lebanon during the operation.
Local media reported that Israeli drones dropped explosive devices in the town of Markaba, marking repeated attacks in the area.
No casualties were immediately confirmed, although a recent Israeli strike in Lebanon’s Bekaa Valley reportedly killed one person and injured 29 others earlier in the week.
