Hizbollah, Israeli forces clash in border area

from Reuters:

The clash raised tensions on the Lebanese frontier two days after a rocket fired from south Lebanon landed in a northern Israeli town, damaging a building but causing no casualties.

Hizbollah said it was shelling an Israeli position in the area in response to "Israeli assaults." Minutes earlier, witnesses said Israeli forces had begun shelling a hillside east of the Lebanese border town of Kfar Shouba.

Witnesses said several Hizbollah shells had struck the Israeli Rweisat al-Alam post.

The Israeli military said guerrillas in Lebanon fired six rockets or mortar bombs which fell near an Israeli army post along the border.

Four explosions and gunfire had been heard in the Shebaa Farms, on the border between Lebanon, Israel and Syria's Israeli-occupied Golan Heights, earlier on Friday.

Two explosions were also heard in the area overnight.
