There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the rocket strike, launched from an area of south Lebanon under the sway of Iran-backed Hezbollah guerrillas. “In response, [Israeli] artillery forces attacked Lebanese territory,” the military said. About two hours after the initial shelling, the military said its artillery had fired again at targets, which it did not identify, along the frontier.
The border has been mostly quiet since Israel fought a 2006 war against Hezbollah, which has advanced rockets.
