’s eastern Bekaa Valley, after identifying activity by the terror group there amid the ongoing ceasefire.

One site included underground infrastructure, and another was used to store rocket launchers, according to the military.

Lebanese state media on Thursday reported Israeli strikes on the country’s south and east.

The state-run National News Agency said "enemy aircraft" struck "the eastern slopes of the mountain range within the town of Janta in the Bekaa," as well as "the outskirts of the town of Taraya, west of Baalbek," also in the east.

Four missiles were fired in the Nabatieh area of southern Lebanon, NNA said.

No casualties were immediately reported.

A November 27, 2024, truce in Lebanon largely halted more than a year of hostilities between Hezbollah and Israel.

Israel has continued to carry out strikes on Lebanese territory since the truce agreement took effect, saying it is acting against Hezbollah violations of the ceasefire.

Last month, Israel withdrew all its forces from southern Lebanon, except from five strategic points, saying it had received a green light from the US to remain at those posts and citing the need to prevent Hezbollah from returning to the area and threatening Israel.

The ceasefire also required Hezbollah to pull back north of the Litani River, about 30 kilometers (20 miles) from the border, and to dismantle any remaining military infrastructure in the south.
