Lebanon’s Iran-backed Hezbollah movement has said it fired a fresh barrage of rockets across the border after a strike blamed on Israel killed two civilians, AFP reports.

The group had already fired rockets at northern Israel late on Tuesday “in response” to the civilian deaths.

On Tuesday, rescue teams said an Israeli strike on a house in the southern village of Hanin killed a woman in her fifties and a girl from the same family.

Since October 7, at least 380 people have been killed in Lebanon, mostly Hezbollah fighters but also 72 civilians, according to an AFP tally.

Israel says 11 soldiers and eight civilians have been killed on its side of the border.
