Two Israeli airstrikes on Tuesday in northeastern Lebanon destroyed a warehouse and killed at least one person and wounded eight, marking a continued escalation between Israel and Hezbollah over the war Israel is waging against Hamas militants in Gaza.
The Israeli military said the airstrikes hit two Hezbollah sites and were in response to rocket attacks over northern Israel earlier in the day. The exchanges also followed Israeli strikes near the Lebanese city of Baalbek late on Monday night.
An official from the Lebanese militant Hezbollah group told The Associated Press that at least one person was killed in the Israeli airstrikes in the town of Safri but did not identify the person as a civilian or a Hezbollah member. A Lebanese security official said at least eight people were wounded.
