"The army will operate against any attempts by Hezbollah to rebuild or establish a military presence under the guise of civilian cover.", the Israeli military said in a statement.
Despite a November 27 ceasefire that sought to halt more than a year of hostilities between Israel and Hezbollah, Israel has continued to carry out near-daily strikes in Lebanon.
On Wednesday, Lebanon reported two dead in separate Israeli strikes on the country's south, as Israel's military said it had killed a Hezbollah operative, despite a ceasefire between the two sides.
A "drone strike launched by the Israeli enemy on a vehicle in Wadi al-Hujair killed one person", Lebanon's health ministry said in a statement, referring to an area around 12 kilometres (seven miles) from the border.
It later said a separate Israeli strike in Hanin, also near the border, "killed one person and wounded another".
The Israeli military said its air force "struck and eliminated" a member of Hezbollah's elite Radwan Force in the Qantara area, near Wadi al-Hujair.
The United Nations Human Rights Office said on Tuesday that "at least 71 civilians" had been killed by Israeli forces in Lebanon since the ceasefire.
Hezbollah lawmaker Hassan Fadlallah said last week that 186 people had been killed since the truce.
