There are no reports of injuries in the attacks, which come after a senior Hezbollah commander was killed in an Israeli airstrike.
The Israeli military confirms it carried out an airstrike earlier today in southern Lebanon's Tyre, killing senior Hezbollah commander Muhammad Nimah Nasser.
Nasser commanded Hezbollah's Aziz unit, one of three regional divisions in south Lebanon. The unit is responsible for the region from the coast to the Bint Jbeil area, and has carried out hundreds of attacks against northern Israel’s upper and western Galilee amid the war.
According to the IDF, he is the second most senior Hezbollah commander it has killed amid the ongoing fighting, after the commander of the Nasr regional unit was killed last month.
Nasser was the commander of the Aziz unit since 2016, according to the IDF. He previously commanded Hezbollah special forces, and was involved in numerous attacks on the border, including the 2006 cross-border kidnapping attack.
The IDF expects Hezbollah to respond with major attacks to Nasser’s killing, similar to how it responded to the killing of Taleb Abdullah, the Nasr unit commander, in June.
Hezbollah’s third regional division in southern Lebanon is the Badr unit, which is deployed above the Litani river and is considered to be the terror group’s second line of defense.

IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Hezi Halevi slams this morning's settler attack against a Civil Administration officer in the West Bank, as security forces worked to evacuate and demolish an illegal outpost built on private Palestinian land.
"This is a serious violent incident, which must be denounced and condemned. The rioters who attacked the members of the security forces while carrying out their mission must be brought to justice in a swift and severe manner," he says, in remarks released by the IDF.
Civil Administration and Border Police personnel had worked to clear the illegal Tzur Harel settlement outpost, which the military says was built on private Palestinian land.
The evacuation had been approved by Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, who also holds a position in the defense ministry.
As forces left the area, masked settlers attacked the vehicle of a lieutenant colonel in the Civil Administration, smashing his windscreen.
Settlers also hurled stones and Molotov cocktails at army vehicles near the Oz Zion outpost.
