Israel fires drones into Lebanon as tensions feared to escalate
Israeli drone strikes have reportedly killed two people in southern Lebanon amid escalating conflict between the border states.
The Israeli attack was the first deadly action since a rocket attack on Saturday, which Israel says killed 12 children and young people in the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights. The attack has raised concerns that the war in Gaza could spiral into a regional conflict.
Lebanese state media said one attack hit a motorcycle near the border, killing two riders and wounding a child. Two others were injured in a separate attack in southern Lebanon.
The Israeli military claimed to have hit infrastructure and Hezbollah operatives, but it provided no other information.
Israel has blamed Hezbollah for the rocket attack over the weekend. The pair have been waging a long campaign of low-level hostilities across the border for several months.
The Lebanese armed group, which is aligned with Iran and has vowed to continue attacking Israel in solidarity with Gaza, has denied responsibility.
