Lebanese media reports Israeli airstrikes in southern Lebanon, following a deadly Hezbollah rocket attack on the Druze town of Majdal Shams.
Some reports claim that the strikes are being carried out in the town of Burj el-Shemali, some three kilometers from Tyre.
Social media users post footage of what they say are the Israeli airstrikes.
Other reports, quoted by Israel’s Army Radio, say the IDF has targeted the Chebaa area, from where the IDF said earlier that the deadly rocket was fired into Majdal Shams.
There is no immediate comment from the IDF.
An IDF spokesman said late Saturday that the attack was directed by Ali Muhammad Yahya, who is the commander of a rocket launching site in the Chebaa area.
