STORYLINE:

Two Hezbollah fighters were killed, and three civilians were wounded on Monday in Israeli airstrikes targeting southern Lebanese villages, military sources told Xinhua.

The sources, who spoke anonymously, said that an Israeli raid targeted a two-story house in the southeast village of Mays al-Jabal, killing a Hezbollah fighter and wounding two civilians, while another airstrike targeted two adjacent houses in the southeast village of Blida, killing another Hezbollah member and injuring a civilian.

Meanwhile, the Lebanese armed group Hezbollah said its fighters attacked several Israeli sites, including the headquarters of the newly formed Liman Battalion, the Baranit barracks, Al-Malikiyah, Zebdine, Ruwaisat Al-Alam, Tallet Al-Tayhat, Al-Jardah, and Jal Al-Alam.

The Lebanon-Israel border has been witnessing increased tension since Oct. 8, 2023, after Hezbollah fired dozens of rockets toward Israel in support of the Hamas attack on Israel the previous day, prompting Israel to respond by firing heavy artillery toward southeastern Lebanon.

The confrontations between Hezbollah and Israel have killed 367 people on the Lebanese side, including 241 Hezbollah members and 73 civilians, according to Lebanese security sources.
