The Israeli military said on Friday that it killed two members of the pro-Iranian Hezbollah militia in southern Lebanon, while Hezbollah confirmed the deaths of three of its members so far.
The information could not be independently verified.
Israel’s army said it attacked a Shiite militia military compound in the Naqoura area, not far from the Israeli border.
Hezbollah, in its confirmation of the three deaths, did not say where and when these occurred.
It did claim that it has retailiated with attacks on targets in northern Israel.
Hezbollah fired, among other things, a “salvo of Katyusha rockets,” towards Kiryat Shmona in retaliation for the Naqoura attack, it said.
Hezbollah and Israel have been fighting daily firefights since the Gaza war began in October.
More than 120 civilians have been killed, most of them on the Lebanese side. In addition, more than 350 Hezbollah members and Israeli soldiers have died in the conflict.
