In a separate message, it said the order followed the launch of two Hezbollah drones toward Israeli troops in southern Lebanon. No one was injured, but Israel described the drone attack as “a flagrant violation” of the ceasefire.

Clashes in Lebanon have declined since June, after a protocol was signed between the United States and Iran alongside a framework agreement between Lebanon and Israel. Israel, however, continues to carry out sporadic military operations in southern Lebanon and occupies a border strip about 10 kilometers wide.

Israeli bombardments killed four people in southern and eastern Lebanon on Friday. Hezbollah drew Lebanon into the regional war by attacking Israel in support of Iran, prompting Israeli retaliation that has killed more than 4,300 people, according to Lebanese authorities.
