Lebanese army says two of its soldiers have been killed in the country's south.

Israeli military has not commented, but did say its troops had killed Hezbollah fighters.

Two weeks of Israeli strikes and other attacks have killed more than 1,300 people across Lebanon .

Israel went on the offensive after almost a year of cross-border hostilities sparked by Gaza war.

Dean Sweetland , a former British soldier who moved to Israel eight years ago , is one of the few people still living in a near-empty kibbutz within sight of the Lebanese town of Bint Jbeil .

He told the BBC that his house shook several times a day with rocket and anti-tank missiles fired from Lebanon , some of them intercepted by Israel ’s air-defences overhead.
