Around 800 of them have been killed since the ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon formally began in mid-April. Seven high-ranking Hezbollah commanders are among those killed, according to the military's tally.
The latest attack - described by Israel as “precise” - was aimed at Beirut’s southern suburbs, the Israeli newspaper Haaretz reported. The target, according to a security source, was Ali al-Husni, a leader in an Iranian militia that collaborates with Hezbollah.
Images from the area showed thick smoke billowing over buildings. Two floors of a residential building were damaged, according to an AFP correspondent. Lebanon's health ministry later said three people, including two children, had been killed.
It is the second attack on the Beirut area during the ceasefire.
Attacks on coastal cities
Earlier on Thursday, the Israeli military said it was attacking Hezbollah-linked targets near the coastal cities of Tyre and Saida.
At least 14 people were killed, including several children, Lebanese authorities said, the AP news agency reports.
Many were also injured in Thursday's Israeli attacks.
Israel issued an evacuation order ahead of the attacks on Tyre and Saida, urging those affected to leave their homes and travel north of the Zahrani River.
Calls for destruction
Hezbollah said on Thursday it had fired several drones and rockets at Israeli forces in southern Lebanon. Air raid sirens sounded in northern Israel, according to statements from the Israeli military.
Israel's ultranationalist Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich called on X for the "destruction of 100 buildings" in Beirut for every drone that injures an Israeli soldier.
The statement was in a post in which he expressed his condolences to the family of an Israeli soldier who was killed by a Hezbollah drone on Wednesday.
