Israeli warplanes launched multiple airstrikes across southern Lebanon on Thursday evening, the Lebanese National News Agency (NNA) reported.

Strikes targeted the Wadi Slouqi area in the Bint Jbeil district and Mansouri in the Tyre district, said NNA.

In the town of Nabatieh al-Fawqa, Israeli warplanes destroyed a building in the al-Deir neighborhood at around 6:20 pm, followed by another strike at around 6:30 pm near al-Dabsha hill and a third hit on the al-Deir neighborhood at around 9 p.m., according to the agency.

NNA also reported a massive explosion by Israeli forces near the hills of Baraachit in the Bint Jbeil district.

Earlier in the day, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said in a statement that Hezbollah launched two explosive drones toward IDF soldiers operating in the area of the Ali-Taher Ridge within the Security Zone in southern Lebanon.

The IDF said it carried out strikes in response, targeting Hezbollah's weapon storage facilities in the Nabatieh area.

Also on Thursday, the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) said that Lebanon and Israel are ultimately responsible for implementing their commitments under UN Security Council Resolution 1701, which remains the key framework for stability in southern Lebanon.

In a statement, UNIFIL said the principles underpinning the resolution include respect for the Blue Line, a UN-demarcated borderline between Lebanon and Israel established in 2000, cessation of hostilities, Israeli withdrawal from Lebanese territory, and the extension of Lebanese state authority over the entire country.
