Israeli attacks on the Bekaa Valley in eastern Lebanon have killed 12 people, Lebanese state media reported.
Lebanon's state-run National News Agency said that "enemy warplanes launched raids on the Wadi Fara area in the northern Bekaa Valley, one of which targeted a camp for displaced Syrians, resulting in the deaths of 12 martyrs, including seven Syrians, and eight wounded".
The governor of the Bekaa Valley confirmed that seven Syrian nationals had been killed in the attacks.
The Israeli army claimed it hit Hezbollah targets in the area.
Israel's military said it was striking targets belonging to Hezbollah's elite Radwan force, in its latest attack on Lebanon despite a ceasefire between Israel and the Iran-backed militant group.
A military statement said Israeli fighter jets launched "numerous strikes" on "Hezbollah terror targets in the area of Bekaa".
Israel has repeatedly bombed Lebanon despite a November ceasefire that sought to end over a year of hostilities between Israel and Hezbollah, including two months of all-out war that left the group severely weakened.
Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz said the latest strikes were "a clear message" to Hezbollah and the Lebanese government "which is responsible for upholding the agreement".
"We will strike every terrorist and thwart any threat to the residents of the north and to the State of Israel," he said in a statement of the area bordering Lebanon.
Mr Katz also vowed to "respond with maximum force against any attempt at rebuilding" Hezbollah's capabilities.
The military statement said that since Israel had "eliminated" Radwan force commanders in September, "the unit has been operating to reestablish its capabilities".
Under the November ceasefire deal, Hezbollah was to pull its fighters back north of the Litani river, about 30 kilometres from the Israeli border, leaving the Lebanese army and United Nations peacekeepers as the only armed parties in the region.
Israel was required to fully withdraw its troops from the country but has kept them in five places it deems strategic.
Since the cross-border hostilities began in October 2023, more than 4,000 people have been killed in Lebanon in Israeli attacks, according to the Lebanese health ministry.
In September 2024, dozens of people were killed and thousands injured when pagers used by Hezbollah members exploded across the country.
Hezbollah said that Israel was "fully responsible" for the blasts.
Later that month, Hezbollah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah was killed in an Israeli attack on Beirut.
On the Israeli side of the border, 78 people including soldiers have been killed, according to an AFP tally based on official figures, with an additional 56 troops killed in southern Lebanon during the ground offensive.
