BEIRUT, April 27 (Xinhua) -- Two Hezbollah fighters and a civilian were killed, and three other civilians injured on Saturday in Israeli air strikes in southern Lebanon, Lebanese military sources told Xinhua.
The sources, who spoke anonymously, said that Israeli warplanes destroyed a house with two missiles in the southeast village of Kafr Kila, killing two Hezbollah members who were inside while wounding three other civilians.
Another warplane targeted a two-story house in the southeast village of Kfarchouba, killing its owner, Qassem Asaad, the sources added.
According to the sources, Israeli warplanes carried out a series of air strikes on five towns and villages in the eastern and central parts of the border region in southern Lebanon, destroying five houses and damaging about 35 others.
Meanwhile, Hezbollah said its fighters "bombed the Habushit site and the 810 Hermon Brigade headquarters in the Maale Golani barracks with dozens of Katyusha rockets."
A Lebanese military source told Xinhua that about 20 surface-to-surface missiles were monitored being launched from southern Lebanon towards northern Israel, some of which were intercepted by Israeli Iron Dome missiles.
Tensions along the Lebanon-Israel border escalated on Oct. 8, 2023, following a barrage of rockets launched by the Lebanese armed group Hezbollah toward Israel in solidarity with Hamas' attack on Israel the day before. Israel then retaliated by firing heavy artillery toward southeastern Lebanon. ■
