The officials say one of the inmates died when a sonic bomb he grabbed from a policeman detonated in his hand.
They say the other inmate died of a heart attack during the raid late Tuesday at the Roumieh prison east of Beirut.
The raid freed three guards who had been taken hostage by the inmates; at least six inmates were injured.
The rioting started on Saturday by prisoners demanding improved conditions. They later set a fire inside one of the buildings.
The officials said the riot was over on Wednesday and the police were in control of the prison. They spoke on condition of anonymity in line with regulations.
