The IDF revealed on Saturday morning that Israeli air force fighter jets had struck a Hezbollah weapons warehouse and a military building belonging to the terror group in southern Lebanon overnight. 

The IDF said the fighter jets attacked Hezbollah's military buildings in the areas of Hanin and Marun al-Ras in southern Lebanon and a weapons warehouse in the Nebatia area.

The IDF also said it fired artillery fire in the areas of Ramish, Lavona, Kfar Shoba and Aita al-Sha'ab in southern Lebanon.

The IDF confirmed that an explosive drone struck the area near Margalit.

Lebanese reports on the strikes

An Israeli airstrike early Saturday had allegedly killed six people and wounded three others in the Nabatieh region in south Lebanon of the country, the Lebanese Health Ministry said. The number was later updated to ten killed and four wounded by Lebanon's state NNA news agency.

The victims were all Syrian citizens, NNA said, adding that a final toll of the strike would be announced after DNA tests were conducted to determine the identity of the victims.

The strike allegedly hit the home of a family of 12, Ynet published, citing local reports. The local report claimed that some of those killed in the strike were children. 

The claim has not been verified, and Israel has not claimed or denied responsibility for the strike.
