's Hezbollah launched rockets at Israel on Saturday after an Israeli air strike that according to a Lebanese security source killed two civilians in the country's south.
More probably “civilians” who will later be revealed to be Hezbollah made men who died, as they say, on the road to Jerusalem.
The Israeli military, whose forces have been trading regular cross-border fire with Hezbollah since early October, said its raid had targeted two operatives from the Iran-backed group.

The Israeli military said four soldiers were maimed including one "severely", after air defences intercepted most of the "approximately 15 launches... identified crossing from Lebanon".

Israeli aircraft then "struck a Hezbollah field commander who was operating in the area of (Kfar) Tebnit in southern Lebanon", the military added.
From the Times of Israel:
Israeli fighter jets struck a building used by Hezbollah, an observation post, and other infrastructure in southern Leb

’s Kafr Kila, Taybe, and Khiam this evening, the IDF says.

It publishes footage of the strikes.

Hezbollah, meanwhile, announces the deaths of two members killed in recent Israel strikes in Lebanon, bringing the terror group’s toll amid the war to at least 366.

#1  approximately 15 launches

This report suggest Israeli 'surgeons' are busy with point targets while launch sites remain effective.
