Israeli strikes on eastern Lebanon killed two people Tuesday, a security source said, in escalating tit-for-tat fire with the powerful Hezbollah group that has raised fears of spiralling violence.
Since the Gaza war erupted in October, Hamas ally Hezbollah and Israel have exchanged near-daily fire across their shared border, including several recent Israeli strikes on Hezbollah further north.
A Lebanese security source, requesting anonymity as they were not authorised to speak to the media, said two people were killed and 12 others wounded in the latest strikes.
