STORYLINE:
Lebanese militant group Hezbollah has launched a drone attack on northern Israel, wounding two people, in response to the killing of one of its fighters in an Israeli airstrike.
The attack did not appear to be linked to Hezbollah’s vow to avenge the killing of one of its top commanders in an Israeli airstrike in Beirut last week, which has raised fears of an all-out war.
Hezbollah has launched near-daily drone and rocket attacks since the start of the Gaza war in what it says is an act of solidarity with the Palestinians.
Israel has responded with airstrikes, one of which killed four people in southern Lebanon earlier on Tuesday, according to Lebanese authorities.
Hezbollah said it launched the drone attack targeting army bases in northern Israel in retaliation for the killing of a lower-level commander in a strike late Monday.
Israel’s Magen David Adom rescue service said it was treating two people wounded by shrapnel, one of them in serious condition.
There was no immediate comment from the Israeli military.
