At least 14 people were killed in fresh Israeli airstrikes in Lebanon on Thursday, state media said.

An Israeli warplane fired a missile onto a car in the Aalay district in Mount Lebanon, east of Beirut, leaving two people dead, state news agency NNA reported.

Seven people were killed and 14 others injured in another airstrike targeting a home in the town of Khodor in eastern Lebanon.

A drone strike also targeted a motorbike in the southern city of Tyre, killing one person.

Meanwhile, an Israeli airstrike on the town of Borj Qalaouiye in southern Lebanon killed the town's mayor.

A Lebanese army officer and two soldiers were killed in an Israeli airstrike as they were evacuating the wounded in the town of Yater, according to a military statement.

Israel has mounted massive airstrikes across Lebanon since last month against what it claims are Hezbollah targets, in an escalation from a year of cross-border warfare since the start of Gaza war.

At least 2,574 people have since been killed, according to Lebanese health authorities. Israel also launched a ground invasion of southern Lebanon on Oct. 1.
