Israel's army said Wednesday it had begun striking Hezbollah infrastructure in several areas of Lebanon, despite a truce with the neighboring country intended to halt fighting with the Iran-backed militant group.
"The IDF has begun striking Hezbollah terror infrastructure sites in several areas in Lebanon," a military statement said.
It came shortly after the army reported "several incidents" during which drones exploded near Israeli soldiers operating in Lebanon's south.
Lebanon's health ministry said an Israeli strike in Lebanon's eastern Bekaa valley killed four people, with local media reporting the attack took place before the Israeli army issued a warning to evacuate the area along with 11 other towns.
"An Israeli enemy raid on the town of Zellaya in West Bekaa resulted in four martyrs, including two women and an elderly man," the ministry said.
Lebanese state media said the attack struck the house of the town's mayor, killing him and three members of his family.
