Tel Aviv, 19 November 2025 (dpa/MIA) - Israel's military said it struck buildings in southern Lebanon on Wednesday after warning residents of several villages to evacuate ahead of attacks on Hezbollah sites.

Lebanon's state news agency NNA confirmed four airstrikes in villages where the Israel had previously alerted residents of multiple houses to leave.

No casualties were immediately reported.

According to NNA, a house was destroyed in the village of Ainata, and the attack also caused significant damage to adjacent buildings.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said "weapons warehouses" belonging to Hezbollah's rocket unit were among the sites hit.

Hours earlier, the IDF wrote earlier on social media that "Hezbollah military infrastructure" would be targeted.

The post listed buildings the military said were used by Hezbollah as well as adjacent homes, warning in Arabic that being near these locations "endangers your lives."

The IDF said the strikes were launched in response to the Iran-backed group's "prohibited attempts to reestablish itself in the area."

A similar alert from the Israeli military about two weeks ago triggered panic in several southern Lebanese towns.

The attacks have fuelled fears among many Lebanese that the conflict between Israel and Hezbollah could reignite.

Israel and its ally the United States have been pressing for Hezbollah's full disarmament. A truce has been in place since November last year, but Israel accuses Hezbollah of rearming and continues near-daily attacks.

Late Tuesday, the Israeli army said it struck "terrorist elements" operating in a training compound affiliated with Palestinian militant group Hamas in Lebanon.

But Lebanon's Health Ministry said Israel hit the country's largest Palestinian refugee camp, Ain al-Hilweh. At least 13 people were killed and others wounded, the ministry said.

Earlier on Wednesday, before the latest airstrikes, Israel said it killed a Hezbollah member in the southern Lebanese town of at-Tiri.

Lebanon's Health Ministry confirmed one death in an attack on a vehicle and said 11 others were injured. Local media reports said some of the injured were schoolchildren whose bus was passing near the vehicle at the time of the drone strike.

The accounts could not be independently verified.
