Yes, a hill blocks line of sight for a unit trying to look over it, whether the viewer is below, on a lower hill, or on a hill with a hill between. The exception is the plateau effect: two units at the same height on the same continuous hill see each other when the line passes only over hexes of that hill, with no dice reduction between same-height hexes. Attacking a hill unit from lower ground costs 1 die.
