Lebanese media says Israeli forces have hit a town in southern Lebanon, with state-run National News Agency reporting in Arabic a "bombing operation" in the town of Qantara.

Earlier, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said it struck a Hezbollah rocket launcher overnight in the Kfarkela area of south Lebanon - around 5 miles (8.5km) from Qantara.

The IDF is yet to comment on the latest reported attacks.

A ceasefire between Lebanon and Israel came into effect on at midnight between 16 and 17 April.

As part of it, Lebanon must take "meaningful steps" to prevent Hezbollah and all other "rogue non-state armed groups" from carrying out attacks against Israeli targets. The IDF said its forces remained deployed in south Lebanon due to "ongoing terrorist activities by the Hezbollah organisation".
