The official Lebanese news agency said: "Enemy warplanes attacked the area between the towns of Toura and Abbasiyeh - Wadi neighborhood, targeting an open area."
The agency explained that "ambulances rushed to the bombing site to check for possible casualties."
She added that the raid "caused panic among students in schools in the neighboring towns of Ma'arka, Al-Abbasiya, Tura and Tyre."
Earlier on Thursday, Channel 12 reported that "Israel is preparing for the possibility of another round of fighting against Hezbollah," noting that "the Israeli army is preparing for a military intervention aimed at weakening the party and pushing it and the Lebanese government to sign a stable agreement with Israel."
This comes ahead of a meeting of the Security Cabinet on Thursday evening, where the channel quoted unnamed Israeli officials confirming that “plans are already in place.”
She added that the United States is trying to resolve the dispute over Hezbollah's disarmament through dialogue.
On August 5, the Lebanese Cabinet decided to restrict weapons in the country, including those of Hezbollah, to the state, and tasked the army with developing a plan to complete this within the same month and implement it before the end of this year.
On Friday, Hezbollah Secretary General Naim Qassem accused the United States of seeking to expand Israeli aggression against Lebanon, considering it a "dishonest mediator."
Qassem has repeatedly stressed his refusal to hand over Hezbollah’s weapons, demanding Israel’s withdrawal from all Lebanese territory.
The channel said that "the United States sent a clear message to the Lebanese that an agreement must be reached that includes the disarmament of Hezbollah, and that in the absence of a diplomatic solution, Washington will support any Israeli military action."
She stated that the aim of any potential fighting is to prevent Hezbollah from rebuilding itself, and to demonstrate to the Lebanese government Israel's seriousness regarding the issue of disarmament.
The channel quoted senior Israeli officials as saying: "Hezbollah will not be allowed to strengthen its power or return to what it was before October 6, and we will increase our attacks and return to fighting if necessary."
Some Israeli officials and media use the term "pre-October 6" in their political discourse to refer to the period preceding the October 7, 2023 attack.
She added that "the tension may reach its peak in about a month, with the end of the operation announced by the Lebanese army to destroy Hezbollah's infrastructure south of the Litani River."
She said: "If the Lebanese announce that the army has evacuated the area designated for it, Israel is likely to reject these claims, and tensions are expected to escalate at this stage."
She noted that Israel has recently escalated its attacks in Lebanon, "both against Hezbollah operatives and its infrastructure." She added that these attacks "slow down the pace of the party's force building, but are facing a depletion of its target bank."
The channel claimed that, according to Israeli intelligence, "Hezbollah continues to stockpile missiles, shells, artillery and combat equipment, which arrive via smuggling from Syria or the sea, in addition to manufacturing inside Lebanon."
She explained that after the ceasefire, the Lebanese government tasked the army with developing a plan to restrict weapons to the state and disarm Hezbollah by the end of 2025, which the party rejected.
The channel added that "the Lebanese army is trying to carry out the mission assigned to it, but not effectively, especially in the south, where Hezbollah members are not being arrested, and there is difficulty in determining the locations of the thousands of missiles it possesses, according to estimates."
In recent weeks, Israel has escalated its attacks on Lebanon, including assassinations of individuals it claims are from Hezbollah, and launching fire belts in areas east and south of the country, under the pretext of targeting the party's military infrastructure.
Israel killed more than 4,000 people and injured about 17,000 others during its aggression against Lebanon, which began in October 2023, before turning it into a full-scale war in September 2024.
It also violated the ceasefire agreement more than 4,500 times, resulting in hundreds of deaths and injuries, in addition to occupying 5 Lebanese hills that it seized in the last war, as well as other areas it has occupied for decades.
