SOUTHERN LEBANON — The Israeli army said it struck 40 Hezbollah sites across southern Lebanon over the past 24 hours in renewed air raids that killed a woman and injured several children. Hezbollah said it retaliated with several attacks on Israeli forces within Lebanese territory.

Civilians made up the majority of victims of the attacks during the past day. Tens of thousands of people in villages along the southern border have been affected by the strikes.

The strikes have continued despite a United States-brokered ceasefire that began last month. Forty people have been killed in Israeli air strikes during the truce, and more than one million people have been displaced by the war in Lebanon.

On Thursday, the Israeli military warned residents of eight Lebanese towns outside the buffer zone to leave their homes immediately before strikes. The same forced evacuation order had been issued to 20 villages previously.

The Israeli army is occupying a zone that amounts to roughly 10 percent of Lebanon's territory. It has established a so-called Yellow Line, south of which is a no-go area where anyone who approaches it risks being targeted. Israel has shared satellite imagery showing entire neighborhoods leveled in southern Lebanon.

Among those affected is Mounir Kabalan, a resident of Mais al Jabal in Lebanon's southern Marjayoun district, whose home was damaged by the strikes. Al Jazeera reporter Zeina Khodr said Israel is using tactics in southern Lebanon similar to those it used in Gaza.
