At least nine people were killed and three injured on Monday from Israeli strikes on two southern Lebanese towns, Talousa and Haris, as the Israeli military said it struck dozens of Hezbollah targets throughout Lebanon.
Earlier on Monday, Lebanese authorities reported two additional deaths in Israeli strikes on other parts of southern Lebanon, including a state security member killed while on duty, bringing the day’s death toll to 11.
Residents in Beirut also told Reuters they heard drones flying overhead at low altitudes late in the evening.
The exchange of fire put a U.S.-brokered ceasefire between the two in an increasingly fragile position less than a week after it took effect.
The truce prohibits Israel from conducting offensive military operations in Lebanon while requiring Lebanon to prevent armed groups, including Hezbollah, from launching attacks on Israel.
The Israeli military reported no casualties from Hezbollah’s two missile launches but Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed a “strong” response.
