Lebanon's national news agency (NNA) said "enemy Israeli troops destroyed houses" in the border village of Adaisseh from dawn. NNA also reported "huge explosions" in the border village of Kfar Kila, with plumes of smoke rising into the sky.

Israeli military spokesman Avichay Adraee said 400 tons of explosives were used to destroy a "strategic underground facility" in southern Lebanon, the tunnel was more than 1.5 km long.

The Israeli military reported earlier a "large-scale explosion in Lebanon" powerful enough to trigger earthquake warnings in parts of Israel.

Full-scale war between Israel and Hezbollah broke out on September 23 when Israel intensified its air campaign against Hezbollah strongholds in southern Lebanon, the capital Beirut and the eastern Bekaa Valley.

Since then, the war has killed at least 1,615 people in Lebanon, according to statistics from the Lebanese Ministry of Health, although the real figure could be higher due to a lack of complete data.

The war has also displaced at least 1.3 million people, according to the International Organization for Migration. More than 800,000 have sought refuge inside Lebanon while more than half a million have fled to Syria.
