The Reuterssources said that the Israeli attack targeted a Hezbollah training camp in Janta village, near the border with Syria.
The sources did not claim any casualties but said that one of the strikes was targeted at the town of Safri, near the eastern city of Baalbek.
Hezbollah has been firing upon Israeli positions across Lebanon's southern border since October 8, a day after Palestinian militant group Hamas launched an unprecedented attack on southern Israel that pushed the region into deep turmoil.
