An Israeli strike on Monday evening targeted a Hezbollah arms depot in Lebanon's eastern Beqaa Valley, according to the Israeli military.
The strike did not result in any fatalities, two security sources told Reuters. Lebanon's health ministry said that the number of injured has risen to eleven, all of whom were treated in emergency facilities.
The Israeli military said its air force struck a number of Hezbollah weapons storage facilities in the area of Beqaa in Lebanon.
"Following the strikes, secondary explosions were identified, indicating the presence of large amounts of weapons in the facilities struck," the military said in a statement.
It said earlier strikes in Deir Qanoun and Tayibe south of Lebanon targeted a senior militant in Hezbollah's Rocket and Missile Unit and a unit operating from a Hezbollah military structure.
Following the depot strike, the Lebanese Agricultural Scientific Research Authority said it would close its research stations in the Beqaa region as a precaution because unexploded missiles landed nearby.
On Saturday, the Israel military said it targeted a weapons depot used by Lebanese armed group Hezbollah militants in an airstrike, killing at least 10 people including two children.
In July, Israeli strikes also targeted another depot storing ammunition belonging to the Iranian-backed group in the town of Aadloun in southern Lebanon, three security sources told Reuters.
Israel and Hezbollah have been trading fire since Hezbollah announced a "support front" with Palestinians shortly after its ally Hamas attacked southern Israeli border communities on October 7, triggering Israel's military offensive in Gaza.
Some 622 people in Lebanon have been killed since the start of the clashes last year, including 416 Hezbollah fighters and 132 civilians, according to a Reuters toll.
