According to the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), an Israeli fighter jet carried out an airstrike in southern Lebanon, claiming that the attack was meant to "thwart a threat."
This is reportedly the first strike of its kind since the ceasefire deal between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon came into effect early Wednesday morning, Xinhua news agency reported.
According to the IDF statement, "terrorist activities were identified in a facility used by Hezbollah to store mid-range rockets in southern Lebanon," with "The IDF troops are deployed in southern Lebanon, operating to prevent any violation of the ceasefire."
Earlier on Thursday, the IDF confirmed conducting a drone strike in southern Lebanon during the morning hours describing it as a warning shot.
The IDF claimed that several "suspects," some with cars, entered southern Lebanon, and this is against the terms of the ceasefire.
The military issued a warning shot in the vicinity of a vehicle in the area of Markaba to frighten it without killing or injuring its occupants. Lebanese sources claim at least two have been wounded because of this strike.
Meanwhile, other unnamed official and military sources in Lebanon reported four more injures in a series of Israeli attacks on the village of Taybeh in southern Lebanon, claiming that the Israeli army breached the truce.
More such attacks took place in the towns of Al-Bissariye, Shebaa, and Khiam, as well as in the villages of Kfarchouba, Halta, Tayr Harfa, Mays al-Jabal, Kafr Kila, and Aitaroun.
Although a cautious calm prevailed across the border areas in southern Lebanon since the entry into force of a ceasefire between Hezbollah and the Israeli army at 4:00 a.m. local time on Wednesday, the two sides have been trading accusations of ceasefire violations.
