The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said it launched strikes in three areas in southern Lebanon against what it claimed were Hezbollah rocket launchers.

The strikes hit the villages of Deir al-Zahrani, Kfar Reman and al-Sama’iya, which are north of where IDF forces are located in southern Lebanon.

On Thursday, Donald Trump announced that a temporary ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon – which was due to expire tomorrow – has been extended by three weeks. But the ceasefire has only been loosely observed by Israel and Hezbollah, with few but continued attacks reported since the start of the truce on 17 April.
