Lebanese media report that a school in the village of Shamaa, in the southern Tyre district, was attacked.
According to the reports, four ambulances were also targeted in the village of Khanawayah in southern Lebanon.
Details about casualties or the circumstances of the attacks have not yet been confirmed.
The Israeli military said on Saturday that it struck a cell of Hezbollah operatives "who were dressed as paramedics and operated near an ambulance in southern Lebanon."
The IDF said the operatives "systematically used ambulances to transfer weapons between northern to southern Lebanon" and used them "to conduct attacks against IDF soldiers and the State of Israel."
According to the army, "in the past month alone, dozens of rockets have been launched toward Israel and at IDF soldiers from areas in which these terrorists operated, while they exploited ambulances and medical infrastructure for military purposes." The military called the use of ambulances and medical teams "to conceal terrorist activities… a severe violation of international law," noting that "medical teams are afforded special protection, provided they do not engage in hostile acts outside their humanitarian duties."
The IDF described the incident as "another example of Hezbollah's cynical and systematic use of medical infrastructure and civilians for military purposes."
The army did not include evidence to support these claims.

The latest missile attack to Israel's north was a combined barrage from Iran and Lebanon, according to security sources.
According to sources in the Haifa municipality, a facility belonging to the Bazan oil refinery was hit. Another strike in the city caused damage to a residential balcony.
The mayor of Shfar'am, Arab city in northern Israel, reported that a home there was also hit, resulting in one person sustaining minor wounds and two others experiencing shock.
The municipality of Kiryat Ata reported three separate impact sites within the city.
Iran confirmed on Monday the death of Revolutionary Guards Navy Commander Alireza Tangsiri following severe injuries, the Iranian news agency ISNA reported, based on a statement by the guards.
Israel's Defense Minister Israel Katz said on Thursday, "In a precise and lethal operation, the IDF eliminated the commander of the IRGC Navy, Tangsiri, along with senior naval command officials."
The Israeli Air Force completed a wave of strikes on Sunday against infrastructure belonging to the Iranian regime across Tehran, according to an IDF statement.
As part of the strikes, more than 80 munitions were deployed against the regime's weapons production sites.
According to the statement, approximately 40 weapons production and research sites were targeted, including facilities for missile assembly, weapon component manufacturing, and ballistic missile engine development.
Israel's Defense Ministry announced Monday a deal to purchase tens of thousands of 155 artillery shells from Elbit Systems for a total of over 150 million shekels.
The production of the munitions will be carried out at Elbit factories across the country, operating in an increased format in three shifts in accordance with the Ministry of Defense's requirements.
The acquisition is part of a broader strategy to strengthen the IDF's long-term endurance and readiness amid ongoing conflict, and to boost Israel's weapons independence and expand the domestic defense production base, according to the Ministry.
Dozens of protesters gathered outside the Knesset on Monday morning to voice opposition to the state budget. Five demonstrators were arrested as police moved to disperse the crowd by force. Protesters carried signs reading "Loot in Time of War," "Loot Budget," and "Knesset Loot Budget." Security personnel and police were filmed removing the signs during the protest.
One protester said, "While Israeli citizens shelter from attacks, the killing government approves a piggish budget. Instead of ensuring the defense of the north, compensating businesses, workers, and bombarded residents, they are funneling billions to draft-dodgers and settlements."
The state budget for 2026 was approved last night in the Knesset with 62 votes in favor and 55 against. During the vote, the coalition authorized hundreds of millions of shekels in additional funding for the ultra-Orthodox sector, beyond what had been approved in the government's budget law.
In a controversial move, the coalition submitted amendments to the budget it had originally approved. Opposition lawmakers reportedly assumed the amendments were minor corrections and voted in favor. In practice, the changes redirected significant funds to religious institutions, tax-exempt entities, and projects targeting the ultra-Orthodox community, bypassing both the Finance Ministry and legal advisers.
The exact scale of these additional funds is not yet clear, but preliminary estimates suggest that roughly NIS 800 million was added to benefit the ultra-Orthodox sector.
"While the Israeli public is sitting in shelters, the government of massacre approves a pig-sized budget," the protesters stated.
The suspected terrorist was reportedly accelerating his vehicle towards the soldiers in a way which posed an immediate threat to them.
The IDF says it opposes the battalion's full disbandment, which is considered one of the flagship projects for integrating haredim into the military.
Elisabeth Kendall says the Houthi attack on Israel demonstrated a willingness to carry out their threats
