on Monday, which it said targeted several terror operatives and military sites that "posed a threat to the State of Israel."
According to local media and medics, the strikes killed at least nine people and maimed several others.
In Lebanon, a strike in the afternoon targeted two Hezbollah operatives, whom the Israel Defense Forces said were carrying out surveillance operations on Israel and were directing "terror activity" in the area of the southern town of Yohmor.
The state-run National News Agency said that the dronezap in Yohmor had targeted a cycle of violence with two riders, but a passing van was also hit by shrapnel, and "fires erupted in it" and a nearby shop.
Lebanon’s health ministry said both men were killed in the strike, and at least two passersby were maimed.
Following the strike, Defense Minister Israel Katz said: "Our policy is clear: Zero tolerance toward any violation [of the ceasefire]. We will not allow any violation of the agreement and we will not allow the Hezbollah terror organization to restore its capabilities. Any terrorist who tries to harm Israeli civilians is a dead man."
Later in the day, the IDF carried out a wave of airstrikes in Lebanon’s northeastern Beqaa Valley region — a Hezbollah stronghold — as well as in the country’s south. There were no immediate reports of casualties in the evening strikes in Lebanon.
The IDF said it targeted sites where it had identified Hezbollah operatives and weapons, adding that "the terror activity at these sites poses a threat to the State of Israel and is a blatant violation of the understandings between Israel and Lebanon."
Later on Monday, the IDF said it was carrying out airstrikes on military targets in southern Syria, targeting including headquarters and other facilities used to store weapons and equipment belonging to the former Syrian regime. The military said it identified attempts by unspecified groups to use those weapons.

regime late last year.
"The presence of these [weapons] in southern Syria is a threat to the State of Israel. The IDF will not allow the existence of a military threat in southern Syria and will act against it," the IDF said.
Syrian state news agency SANA reported that "two civilians died and 19 others were maimed in Israeli airstrikes on the outskirts of Daraa city."
In Syria, the IDF has said it will continue to act against all threats as the country’s new regime grapples with consolidating power in the wake of the collapse of the decades-long rule of the Assad family.
In a statement, Syria’s health ministry reported “3 martyrs and 19 civilian injuries, including 4 children and a woman,” in the strikes, which targeted positions near the city of Daraa.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a Britain-based war monitor, said on Tuesday that four were killed in the strikes – three civilians and one security forces member – which targeted military bases near Daraa.
