Two injured people were taken to a medical centre in Haifa Thursday after Hezbollah struck a site in northern Israel.

One person was undergoing surgery and another was in a moderate condition, according to the deputy director of Rambam Medical Center.

Hezbollah says it struck a military position in northern Israel as part of its ongoing attacks in support of the Palestinians in Gaza, in an attack that Israeli hospitals said injured ten.

The militant group has vowed to continue such operations after several of its members were killed and thousands wounded when their personal devices exploded, in what appeared to be a sophisticated attack by Israel.

Israel has responded to the near-daily fire with escalating strikes of its own and in recent days has warned of a wider military operation.

The military said early Thursday that it had struck several militant sites in southern Lebanon overnight.
