The attack in Janta targeted Lebanese group’s air defence systems, according to the military.
The Israeli military has said it hit a Hezbollah site deep inside Lebanese territory, the latest in a volley of strikes between the two sides amid Israel’s war on Gaza.
In a post on Telegram on Wednesday, Israel’s military said the attack on Tuesday night targeted one of the Lebanese group’s air defence systems near the central village of Janta, which is located about 79km (49 miles) from the capital, Beirut.
This marked a deeper-than-usual incursion into Lebanese territory, where most of the attacks have so far been confined to the south.
In parallel overnight strikes, Israel’s air force attacked a Hezbollah air defence site in the southern town of Baraachit and a weapons depot in the Kfar Kila area, it said.
Reporting from the southern Lebanese town of Marjayoun, Al Jazeera’s Assed Baig said Israeli artillery, drone and missile attacks also hit the areas of Yaroun, Haddatha, Hula, Toulin and al-Nabi Shayth in the Bekaa Valley.
