Separately, Al Jazeera reported that an explosion in the town of Khiam shattered windows in several nearby towns. No further details on casualties or damage from either incident were provided in the reports.

The reported strikes come amid heightened tensions along the Lebanon-Israel frontier, where Hezbollah and Israeli forces have exchanged fire. The US-brokered ceasefire was intended to halt hostilities, but the reports indicate that military activity has persisted in the southern region.
