The Israeli army announced on Thursday it carried out an airstrike on a Hezbollah facility in the Sidon district, following the identification of suspicious activity at the site. This marks the first Israeli strike since the ceasefire agreement went into effect two days ago. 

According to the Israeli military, the facility had been used to store medium-range rockets, which posed a potential threat.

In a statement, the military confirmed that fighter jets targeted the site after detecting the activity, claiming it successfully neutralized the threat.

“The Israeli army is deployed in southern Lebanon, acting and thwarting any violation of the ceasefire agreement,” the military noted, emphasizing its ongoing efforts to maintain security and uphold the terms of the truce.

Israel notified the U.S. in advance of the airstrike, Axios correspondent Barak Ravid reported, citing an Israeli official. 

Israel said it also opened fire on Thursday towards what it called "suspects" with vehicles arriving at several areas in the southern zone, saying it was a breach of the truce.

Earlier, Israeli tank fire hit five towns and some agricultural fields in southern Lebanon, state media and Lebanese security sources said, saying at least two people were wounded.

All of the areas lie within 2 km (1.2 miles) of the Blue Line demarcating the border between Lebanon and Israel, in an area the Israeli military has announced as a no-go zone along the border, even after the deal was agreed.

The Israeli military renewed a curfew restricting the movement of residents of southern Lebanon south of the Litani river between 5 p.m. (1500 GMT) and 7 a.m.
