Troops shot on Israel-Lebanon border | |
(35 minutes later) | |
The Israeli army has shot two Lebanese soldiers on the border, hours after an Israeli was killed by a Lebanese army sniper, the Israeli military has said. | |
An Israeli army spokeswoman said Israeli troops opened fire after noticing "suspicious movement". | |
There is no word on their condition and Lebanon has not yet commented. | |
The shooting came hours after the 31-year-old Israeli soldier was shot dead after his vehicle was hit by up to 10 shots fired from the Lebanese side. | |
The cross-border violence is the most serious since 2010, when an Israeli officer was shot dead by a Lebanese army sniper, sparking clashes in which three Lebanese soldiers were killed. |
