Local reports said further bombardments hit a valley linking al-Mseilih, Tuffahata and al-Najjariyah, an area marked by repeated flare-ups over recent months.
Lebanon’s National News Agency later confirmed the locations of the strikes, adding that no casualties had been recorded.
Emergency teams carried out inspections across the affected sites, while residents described a tense evening marked by intermittent blasts.

Lebanese officials say ongoing ceasefire breaches have resulted in hundreds of deaths and injuries, and that Israel continues to hold five hilltops seized during the latest conflict, along with long-occupied areas.
