After ordering people to leave about 20 locations, Israel has carried out air strikes in the south of Lebanon, the Lebanese state media reports.
At least five people have been killed following a strike on the town of Marrakeh, in Lebanon. Israel's prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu had previously warned his country would strike Hezbollah if Lebanon continues attacks against northern Israel.

Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Saturday said a US-Iran peace deal could be finalised within the next 24 hours, raising hopes of a diplomatic breakthrough after months of conflict and negotiations.
"We are closer to a peace deal than ever before. With finalisation likely expected in the next 24 hours, Pakistan is preparing for the electronic signing of the peace deal immediately after, followed by technical level talks next week," Sharif said in a post on X.
Iran's foreign minister, Seyed Abbas Araghchi, said earlier that a deal to end fighting with the US is close. However, he said talks on Iran's nuclear programme would begin later. US officials have confirmed some of the details of the agreement, saying economic benefits for Iran would depend on Tehran meeting its obligations.
