The Israeli military said it was checking the report.
Lebanon has suffered the deadliest spillover of the U.S.-Iran conflict since the Lebanese group Hezbollah opened fire in support of Tehran on March 2, triggering an Israeli offensive and invasion of southern Lebanon.
After several ceasefire announcements since April, violence abated significantly last month, as Iran insisted on its demand for a Lebanon ceasefire in talks with the U.S., and as Israel scaled back attacks in Lebanon at Washington's behest.
Lebanese security sources said Monday's strike marked the deadliest Israeli attack in several weeks.
Hezbollah has received $200 million from Iran to help Lebanese displaced by this year’s war with Israel, two people with direct knowledge of the transfer said, the first significant aid from the group to supporters who bore the brunt of the conflict.
Saudi Arabia has launched an air accident probe following last week's cockpit stabbing on a flydubai jet, as experts examine any fallout for aviation safety alongside a separate UAE-led criminal investigation, three people close to the matter said.
