While Israel has not claimed responsibility for the strikes, the IDF has targeted southern Lebanon in the past as it is a stronghold of the Hezbollah terror group.

Arab media reported three airstrikes in the area of ​​Ayta al-Sha'ab in southern Lebanon on Sunday night. 

The reports claimed that the strikes were sent from Israel, which has not been confirmed by any Israeli source.

While Israel has not claimed responsibility for the strike, the IDF has targeted southern Lebanon in the past as it is a stronghold of the Hezbollah terror group.

More recently, the IDF and Hezbollah have exchanged drone attacks as the terrorist group began targeting Israel's northern borders in alliance with Hamas. Only a day before these alleged strikes in ​​Ayta al-Sha'ab, the Israeli Air Force's air traffic control base at Mount Meron was damaged by Hezbollah rocket fire.
