Middle East:
At least two Israeli soldiers were killed when anti-tank missiles were fired at an Israeli convoy on the Golan Heights from Lebanon. Israel retaliated by firing dozens of artillery shells into southern Lebanon, and convened a emergency security meeting in Tel Aviv.
The Associated Press reports that an anti-tank missile was fired at Israeli military vehicle near the Lebanese border, leaving two soldiers dead. Lebanese security officials then said Israel fired 25 artillery shells into Lebanon.
Benjamin Netanyahu, the Israeli Prime Minister tweeted: “At this moment, the Israeli Defense Force responds to events in the North. We will not allow terrorists to disrupt the lives of our citizens and threaten their security. We will respond forcefully those who try to challenge us.”
Hezbollah claimed on al-Manar television in Lebanon that they had attacked an Israeli military convoy. In a statement, Hezbollah said its fighters destroyed a number of Israeli vehicles that were carrying Israeli officers and soldiers and caused casualties among “enemy ranks”. It said the attack was carried out by a group calling itself the 'heroic martyrs of Quneitra', referring to an area in Syria where Israel killed six members of Hezbollah and an Iranian general on 18 January 2015.
The attack took place near Mount Dov and Sheba'a Farms, a disputed tract of land where the borders of Israel, Lebanon, and Syria meet.
