An anti-tank missile fired from Lebanon hit a home in northern Israel on Sunday, killing two civilians and renewing concerns about the risk of a second front erupting in the Israel-Hamas war.
Sunday's missile strike came a day after the Israeli army said it killed several militants who crossed into Israel from Lebanon and attempted to carry out an attack.
Hezbollah's leader, Hassan Nasrallah, said his group won’t stop until a ceasefire is in place for Gaza.
“We are continuing, and our front is inflicting losses on the enemy and putting pressure on displaced people,” Nasrallah said in a speech, referring to the tens of thousands of Israelis who have fled northern border areas.
Fighting between Israel and Hezbollah has surged in parallel with Israel's more than three-month-old Gaza war against Palestinian Hamas.
An anti-tank missile fired at Kfar Yuval, an agricultural collective abutting the Lebanese border, struck a house, killing the woman and her 40-year-old son, Israeli military and medical officials said.
A 74-year-old man was wounded, a hospital official said, describing him as a member of the same family of farmers.
The military said its forces were striking Hezbollah targets in Lebanon in retaliation.
