The Lebanese army says five soldiers were lightly injured by an Israeli strike in southern Lebanon a short while ago.
The strike took place in the town of Kafra, while the Lebanese troops were assisting locals, the Lebanese Armed Forces says.
There is no immediate comment from the IDF on the incident.
Earlier, Lebanese media reported a large blast in the town of Kounine, apparently the result of the IDF demolishing Hezbollah infrastructure.
