Lebanese media report an alleged Israeli strike near the village of Qasr in the Hermel District, close to the border with Syria.
No further details are immediately available.
Qasr is located about 140 kilometers from the Israeli border.
It would mark one of the deepest Israeli strikes in Lebanon amid the war. The IDF has struck in the Qasr area before.
