Ahead of the strikes, Israeli army spokesperson Avichay Adraee issued an evacuation warning for nine towns in southern and eastern Lebanon.
In a post on X, Adraee urged residents of Rihan, Jarjou, Kfar Rumman, Nmairiyeh, Arabsalim and Harouf in Nabatieh, and Jmayjmeh, Mashghara and Qlayaa in eastern Lebanon to evacuate their areas, which he called Hezbollah infrastructure in these towns.
The Israeli army continues to conduct daily strikes in Lebanon and exchange fire with Hezbollah despite a ceasefire in place since April 17, which was later extended to mid-May.
Since March 2, Israeli attacks in Lebanon have killed 2,846 people, injured 8,693 and displaced more than 1 million, according to the latest official figures.
The escalation comes as the United States prepares to host peace talks between the two countries in Washington on May 14–15.
