Lebanon-based militia group Hezbollah said it has launched over 100 rockets aimed at Israeli military positions in retaliation for a strike on the country's east that killed one person.

Iran-backed Hezbollah launched "more than a hundred katyusha rockets" at two military bases in the occupied Golan Heights, the group said in a statement.

Hezbollah and Israel have traded increasingly intense, deadly cross-border fire since the Israel-Hamas war began in October.

Hezbollah, an ally of Hamas, is considered a terrorist organization by the US, Germany and several Sunni Arab countries.

Hezbollah said its strikes were "in response to the Israeli attacks on our people, villages and cities, most recently near the city of Baalbek and the killing of a citizen."

Several Israeli strikes have moved deeper inside Lebanon lately with targets aimed at Bekaa Valley, which has long been a stronghold for Hezbollah. The strikes have raised fears of a full-blown conflict. 

On Monday, Israeli air strikes near Lebanon's eastern city of Baalbek, in Bekaa Valley, killed one person.
