A strike hit near the south Lebanon city of Tyre on Tuesday, state media reported, after the Israeli military said it would target Hezbollah infrastructure there and warned residents to leave.Lebanon was drawn into the Middle East war last week when Iran-backed militant group Hezbollah attacked Israel in response to the killing of Iranian supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in US-Israeli strikes.
Israel, which kept up strikes targeting Hezbollah despite a 2024 ceasefire, has since launched multiple waves of attacks across Lebanon and sent ground troops into border areas.
"The Israeli enemy launched a strike on the threatened area" in Abbassiyeh adjacent to Tyre city, Lebanon's state-run National News Agency (NNA) said.
The Israeli military had said it would strike a building there and in the coastal city of Sidon.
The latest strike came after the NNA said overnight raids targeted the country's south and east, and after Israel carried out strikes on branches of Al-Qard al-Hassan, a US-sanctioned financial firm, on Monday.
Lebanese authorities have said Israel's attacks since March 2 have killed at least 486 people and wounded more than 1,300, while more than 660,000 people have registered as displaced, with some 120,000 sleeping at official shelters.
Also Monday, Lebanese President Joseph Aoun accused Hezbollah of working to "collapse" the state and expressed Beirut's readiness for "direct negotiations" with Israel.
He urged the international community to help implement a four-point plan which he proposed to stop the war.
That plan would include "establishing a full truce" with Israel, logistical support for the army to disarm Hezbollah, and direct negotiations with Israel "under international auspices".
But the head of Hezbollah's parliamentary bloc Mohamed Raad vowed on Monday evening that his group would "defend our existence whatever the cost".
The Lebanese government last week banned Hezbollah's military activities after it launched attacks on Israel.
