Four Israeli soldiers were killed in south Lebanon, where Israel has been battling Iran-backed Hezbollah, the Israeli military said on Sunday.
On Saturday, an airstrike on Lebanon’s village of Marjayoun resulted in five fatalities and one injury, Israel’s health ministry had said.
Israel continues its airstrikes targeting Hezbollah positions in Lebanon.
On Sunday, the Israeli army said it hit Hezbollah weapons manufacturing sites and arms depot in the southern suburbs of Beirut.
The Israeli military’s Arabic spokesperson had earlier issued evacuation orders calling on residents of two areas to evacuate their homes, adding that Hezbollah facilities there would soon be hit.

Lebanon's health ministry said Israel struck the southern city of Tyre on Monday, killing at least five people and wounding 10 others.
An "Israeli enemy strike this morning on a building" in the center of the coastal city "led to a provisional toll of five dead and 10 wounded", a health ministry statement said.
It added that "work is ongoing to remove the rubble".
An AFP video journalist saw emergency personnel rush a survivor to an ambulance on a stretcher, while other rescuers worked to put out a heavily smoldering fire at the site, where a residential apartment block had collapsed like a pancake.
Tyre, an ancient coastal city which boasts a UNESCO World Heritage site, was subjected to heavy Israeli strikes last week, leaving swathes of the center in ruins.
Israel last month escalated air strikes on Hezbollah strongholds and sent ground forces into Lebanon, following a year of cross-border exchanges of fire with the Iran-backed group over the Gaza war.
