The Israeli army said Monday it has begun attacks on what it called Hezbollah infrastructure in Lebanon's eastern Bekaa region and the country’s south, marking a new violation of a temporary ceasefire.
No information was yet available about injuries or the targeted sites.
The attacks came after Israel's public broadcaster KAN reported that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu held a security consultation meeting regarding developments in Lebanon.
More than 2,500 people have been killed and over 1.6 million displaced by Israeli attacks across Lebanon since March 2, according to Lebanese official figures.
A 10-day ceasefire was declared between Lebanon and Israel on April 17, though Tel Aviv repeatedly violated it.
On Thursday, US President Donald Trump said Lebanon and Israel agreed to extend the truce by three weeks following a second round of talks between the two sides in Washington.
Hezbollah has carried out a series of drone attacks targeting Israeli soldiers in southern Lebanon and northern Israel, citing Israel’s repeated violations of the truce.
