The ministry, prior to the attack, said that 55 people have been killed and 156 others have been wounded in Israeli strikes over Lebanon on Wednesday.
The Israeli military earlier today ordered the evacuation of villages and towns in southern Lebanon north of a United Nations-declared buffer zone.
Israel said that eight of its soldiers have been killed in combat in southern Lebanon, its first losses since the start of the ground invasion against the armed group Hezbollah.
The warnings signalled a possible broadening of Israel’s incursion into southern Lebanon, which until now has been confined to areas close to the border.
The IDF also said that it killed three senior Palestinian leaders of the Hamas militant group, including the Head of the Hamas government in Gaza around three months ago.
It said that a strike on an underground compound in northern Gaza killed Rawhi Mushtaha and two other Hamas commanders, Sameh Siraj and Sameh Oudeh.
