Hezbollah said it hit a key Israeli observation post early on Saturday with 62 rockets as a "preliminary response" to the killing of Saleh al-Arouri, Hamas' deputy chief.
Al-Arouri was killed on Tuesday in an Israeli drone strike on Beirut's southern suburbs.
Hezbollah chief Hassan Nassallah said on Friday that being "silent" on the strike would allow all of Lebanon to be vulnerable to more attacks.
The Hezbollah statement on Saturday said the group had hit a main post on an elevated hilltop that Israel relied on for "aerial observation" and "air control.”
Lebanon’s national news agency reported of IDF strikes in the southern part of the country, alongside news outlet Al Mayadeen, affiliated with Hezbollah.
Israeli forces killed four people in southern Lebanon on Monday, Lebanon's National News Agency reported, citing the health ministry, in two separate strikes that the Israeli military said targeted members of the Shi'ite Muslim armed group Hezbollah.
Israel has taken steps to help settlers acquire land in the occupied West Bank and widen its powers in parts of the territory where Palestinians have some self-rule - measures they said aimed to undermine the two-state solution.
Kuwait has added eight Lebanese hospitals to its national sanctions list over alleged links to terrorism, according to the Kuwaiti daily Al-Rai. The hospitals are all located in areas where Hezbollah is influential: southern Lebanon, the Bekaa Valley, and Beirut’s southern suburbs.
