Hezbollah said it fired a fresh barrage of rockets across the border on Wednesday after a strike blamed on Israel killed two civilians.

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

Hezbollah has exchanged near-daily fire with the Israeli army since the start of the war on Gaza.

It has stepped up its rocket fire on Israeli military bases in recent days.

Hezbollah fighters fired "dozens of Katyusha rockets" at Shomera, an occupied Lebanese border village, "as part of the response to the Israeli enemy's attacks on... civilian homes," the group said in a statement.

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.

Hezbollah also targeted Wednesday the al-Raheb post in northern Israel as Israeli artillery and tanks shelled the outskirts of Ramia, Beit Leef and Alma al-Shaab in south Lebanon.

Israeli warplanes had struck overnight the southern towns of Houla and Rab Tlatine.
