Israel has carried out a large wave of air strikes in southern Lebanon, targeting positions of the Iranian-backed armed group Hezbollah.
The attacks came after evacuation warnings were issued for several locations, and there have been no immediate reports of casualties.
Despite a ceasefire deal established after a previous conflict with Hezbollah, Israel continues to conduct air strikes against what it claims are Hezbollah-related targets.
Lebanon's Prime Minister Nawaf Salam has called for the international community to pressure Israel to halt what he described as acts of intimidation.
Footage from the strikes showed substantial plumes of smoke rising from areas such as Mais al-Jabal. An Israeli military spokesperson claimed the strikes were targeted at Hezbollah infrastructure and were a response to the group's attempts to re-establish activities in the region.
In response, Salam reiterated Lebanon's commitment to cease hostilities, questioning Israel's adherence to the agreed mechanisms. He called on international sponsors of the ceasefire to exert pressure for an end to aggressions, withdrawal from Lebanese territory, and the release of prisoners.
The US and France brokered ceasefire states that Lebanon must prevent Hezbollah from conducting operations against Israel, while Israel should refrain from attacks on Lebanese targets.
Additionally, the Lebanese government has mandated the army to establish a state monopoly on weapons, a directive that Hezbollah has stated it will ignore.
