Tuesday night was particularly violent in the Bekaa and the South, with clashes continuing on Wednesday morning.
An Israeli drone targeted a car in Bayt Lif on Wednesday morning, killing one person.
Israeli bombardments also hit the areas of Deir Mimas and southern Khiam. Bombing also hit the Sardeh region near Wazzani, killing a Syrian national.
At dawn, Hezbollah announced that it had targeted Israeli soldiers in the vicinity of the Zarit barracks with artillery shells.
Israeli media also reported that a salvo of over 40 rockets hit the Golan and Galilee, wounding at least 5 people in Katsrin and the Golan.
For its part, Hezbollah issued a statement saying it had bombarded the Tsnobar base in the Golan with Katyusha missiles on Wednesday morning. The pro-Iranian group also claimed responsibility for a strike on the Hadab Yaron position.
Lebanon’s Health Ministry said early on Wednesday that Israeli strikes in the country’s east killed one person and wounded 20 others, hours after it said four people were killed in the South.
The strikes came more than 24 hours after Israel carried out similar raids deep inside East Lebanon on Monday night, and as tensions mounted in the wake of the Israeli killing of a top Hezbollah commander.
“Israeli enemy strikes on the Bekaa” valley killed one person “and wounded 20 others,” the Health Ministry said in an updated toll.
The statement said one person was in critical condition, while “eight children and a pregnant woman were moderately wounded.”
A Hezbollah source, requesting anonymity, said several strikes hit East Lebanon near the city of Baalbeck, including the village of Nabi Sheet, without specifying what was targeted.
A source from a local hospital told AFP that five children no older than 10, all from the same family, were among the wounded.
The strikes around midnight came after similar raids in the Bekaa region on Monday evening that Israel said targeted “Hezbollah weapons storage facilities.”
They also came as Hezbollah said four of its fighters had been killed, after the Health Ministry said on Tuesday that four people died in Israeli strikes in the southern border village of Dhayra.
