Meanwhile, Hezbollah said in a statement that it targeted Israeli military vehicles and soldiers near al-Sala'a hill in the town of Qantara with rockets. It also launched another rocket strike on a gathering of Israeli military vehicles and soldiers near a school in the village of Houla.

The strikes took place despite a ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon, after weeks of cross-border clashes tied to the broader US-Israeli conflict with Iran.
