Lebanon’s Hezbollah, Israel Trade Fire

Israel and Lebanon’s Hezbollah movement traded fire on Monday evening after the Lebanese group said three of its members were killed in Israeli strikes earlier in the day, heightening fears of a wider regional war.

Hezbollah said it shelled a pair of Israeli military installations in response to the killing of its fighters in Israeli attacks. Israel’s military confirmed strikes from Lebanon and said it responded with artillery fire. Earlier on Monday the Israeli air force said it launched strikes on a village inside Lebanon in response to an incursion by armed people who crossed into Israel. Israeli forces killed an unspecified number of suspects during the incident, the military said.
