Israel Shells S. Lebanon After Border Blast Wounds Two IDF Soldiers – 7 October 2014

The Israeli Army fired artillery shells into Lebanon after at least two IDF troops were injured in a blast on the border between the two states, an Israeli security source told Reuters.

The Israeli Defense Force has confirmed the shelling of Lebanese territory, saying that it hit two outposts of the Hezbollah militant group in the south of the country on Tuesday.

Earlier reports suggested three Israeli soldiers sustained wounds, but the Israeli Defense Force’s official Twitter is talking of two soldiers being injured.

Initial reports indicate that the explosion was caused by an explosive device that was planted with the intention of attacking IDF soldiers.
