A series of Israeli airstrikes hit targets in southern Lebanon overnight into Thursday, including a depot storing engineering equipment.

Footage showed the destroyed facility and machinery in a mound of debris and metal.

An Israeli military statement claimed to have targeted a Hezbollah site housing equipment being used in the militant group's reconstruction, without providing evidence.

The Lebanese Health Ministry said at least four people were killed and 17 more wounded in the wider attacks on the country's south.

The strikes came amid ongoing tensions despite a US-brokered ceasefire that ended the 14-month war between Israel and Hezbollah in November 2024.

Hezbollah officials have repeatedly stated that the group will not consider disarmament until Israel withdraws from five strategic hills it controls inside Lebanese territory and halts its near-daily airstrikes.

The Israel-Hezbollah war killed over 4,000 people in Lebanon, including hundreds of civilians, and caused destruction worth $11 billion, according to the World Bank. In Israel, 127 people died, including 80 soldiers.

The war started when Hezbollah began firing rockets across the border on Oct. 8, 2023, one day after a deadly Hamas-led incursion into southern Israel that sparked the war in Gaza.

Israel responded with shelling and airstrikes in Lebanon, and the two sides became locked in an escalating conflict that became a full-blown war in late September last year.
