The Israeli military said it was striking southern Lebanon early on Sunday in retaliation for Hezbollah firing two drones at Israeli soldiers stationed in a part of the region it has declared a security zone.

The Israeli military had issued an evacuation warning to areas near a building in Arab Salim town in South Lebanon, saying it will strike it as it is used by Hezbollah. 

There was no immediate comment from the Iran-backed group.

On Friday, the Israeli military said it struck weapon storage facilities intended to be used by Hezbollah in south Lebanon.
