Israel continues its bombardment on Gaza as two Hezbollah members and an Israeli soldier were killed on Monday in cross-border violence.

An Israeli soldier and two Hezbollah fighters were killed Monday in clashes, Israel's military and the Iran-backed Lebanese group said, the latest in a wave of cross-border violence.

The Israeli military said Monday a member of its Bedouin Trackers Unit "fell during combat in northern Israel".

Hezbollah said two of its fighters were "martyred" after Lebanon's health ministry reported that an Israeli strike left two people dead in the border village of Hula.

At the same time, Israel continues its assault on Gaza. Israeli strikes killed several in Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip. Four civilians were killed, and others were wounded by Israeli shelling in the Tuffah neighbourhood east of Gaza City and the Sabra neighbourhood south of Gaza City.
