The reported airstrikes came after Israel accused Hezbollah killing 12 civilians in the Golan Heights
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have reportedly carried out airstrikes against multiple targets in southern Lebanon, multiple news outlets reported in the early hours of Sunday.
Israeli officials earlier vowed to retaliate after 12 people were killed when a rocket hit a football field in the occupied Golan Heights.
According to Al Jazeera, explosions were heard in the coastal city of Tyre and several villages along the Israel-Lebanon border.
The tensions flared up on Saturday when a rocket struck the Druze village of Majdal Shams. The Israeli government blamed Hezbollah for the attack, the victims of which were mostly children. The Lebanon-based pro-Palestinian armed group, however, rejected the accusations.
