Lebanese media reports six dead in an Israeli airstrike in southern Lebanon before dawn.

The deadly strike took place in the town of Ansar, north of the coastal city of Tyre, according to the reports.

Additionally, a series of airstrikes took place in the Nabatieh area, the reports say, including some of the heaviest strikes yet on the Ali Taher Ridge, beneath which Hezbollah has a major underground facility.

The IDF has not yet commented on the reports.
