Israeli strikes in southern Lebanon killed at least four people overnight, according to Lebanese officials. The toll was raised to four after initial reports of three fatalities. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) stated it targeted Hezbollah infrastructure in response to an alleged attack by the group against IDF troops in the security zone.
Local health ministry reports confirmed three deaths, with 23 injured in separate strikes across southern and eastern Lebanon. Iranian state media had earlier reported an oil tanker was hit by US missiles, though this was not confirmed by other sources. Lebanese state media cited the strikes as part of an ongoing escalation in the region.
The IDF confirmed its actions were in response to a Hezbollah attack, though details remain unclear. Multiple sources reported damage to infrastructure in the area, with some residents describing explosions and heavy shelling. The situation remains tense as both sides continue military operations.
