Iran's foreign ministry says its armed forces hit several "military targets" north of the "occupied Palestinian terroritories".
In a statement, the ministry says the strikes come after a "repeated violation" of the April ceasefire between the US, Iran and Israel, including US attacks on Iranian ships and targets in the south of the country.
A ceasefire has been in force since 17 April - in name only - and has been violated repeatedly by both Israel and Iran.
The US said last week that it hit Iranian military sites over the weekend, while Tehran said it responded by targeting a US base.
Iran's foreign ministry adds the country is defending its security and national interests, warning that any attack from Israel against Lebanon or the Islamic Republic of Iran would be met with "a crushing and comprehensive response".
