Netanyahu's announcement came after the Iran-backed Shiite militia Hezbollah fired rockets and drones at northern Israel and soldiers stationed in southern Lebanon on Saturday, The Times of Israel reports.
At least four different locations in southern Lebanon have since been hit by Israeli attacks, Lebanese state media reported. Two attacks reportedly hit a town in the Bint Jbeil district, one in a town in the Tyre district and hit two towns in Nabatieh, according to the NNA news agency.
In a statement, the Israeli military stated that it had “attacked Hezbollah’s terrorist infrastructure used for military purposes in southern Lebanon” and that it would “continue to act decisively against threats.”
Since a ceasefire came into effect last Friday, Israel and Hezbollah have repeatedly accused each other of violating it. A decision to extend the ceasefire was made late Thursday night after talks in Washington, but fighting has continued.
Six people were killed in Israeli attacks on Lebanon on Saturday, the country's health ministry said. At least six people were also reported killed on Friday.
