Israeli Army Says Thwarted Hezbollah Infiltration Attempt Along Lebanon Border Haaretz/July 27/2020
Lebanese sources say Hezbollah carried out an operation in a disputed border area, allegedly in response to the death of a fighter last week in an airstrike attributed to Israel ■ No casualties reported
The army said Monday it had thwarted an attempt by Hezbollah to infiltrate into Israel, adding that all Israelis in the border area had been ordered to remain indoors after an exchange of artillery fire between the two sides.
Monday’s clash comes after the Iran-backed Lebanese Shi’ite group vowed to avenge one of its fighters, who was reportedly killed in an airstrike on pro-Iranian militants in Syria that was attributed to Israel.
Israel Defense Forces Spokesman Brig. Gen. Hidai Zilberman said a group of about five Hezbollah operatives crossed several meters into Israel, but fled back to Lebanon after Israeli forces opened fire at them.
Zilberman said their condition is unknown, and confirmed no Israeli soldiers were hurt.
Earlier, the IDF spokesman said there had been an incident on the border with Lebanon, in the Har Dov area.
Hezbollah-affiliated Al Mayadeen reportred that Hezbollah targeted an Israeli vehicle with a guided Kornet missile.
Lebanese sources confirmed to Reuters that Hezbollah carried out an operation against the Israeli army in the disputed Shebaa Farms. One of the sources said it was in response to last week’s killing of a Hezbollah fighter.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in Jerusalem that “we are in the midst of a complicated event.” He then made his way to military headquarters in Tel Aviv, where he was joined by Defense Minister Benny Gantz.
A reporter for the Hezbollah-affiliated Al Manar network later reported that Israel was attacking in the area of Kfarchouba, on the Lebanese side of the border, north of Har Dov.
For just over an hour, the IDF ordered residents of the border region to remain indoors, refrain from going out into open areas, including for farming. The army closed major roads, and asked residents to avoid unnecessary trips.
Things eventually returned to normal less than two hours after the beginning of the incident, with Lebanese media also reporting that the situation was calm in villages in southern Lebanon.
Israeli airstrikes that hit military posts south of Damascus last week killed five foreign fighters and wounded several others, a Syrian war monitor reported. The airstrikes came in response to an earlier attack on the Golan Heights which it attributed to Syrian forces.
On Sunday, Hezbollah said it has no intention of divulging “precise details” about how it will respond to “Israel’s aggression,” the organization’s deputy secretary general, Naim Qassem, said.
“There’s no change in the rules of the game and the formula for our response,” he told Al Mayadeen, a pro-Hezbollah Lebanese television station. “A balance of deterrence against Israel exists, and we don’t intend to change this balance.”
Qassem also confirmed that Israel had sent Hezbollah a message via the United Nations. On Saturday, Al Mayadeen reported that Israel told Hezbollah it hadn’t intended to kill the operative in last week’s airstrike, which was aimed at combating Iran’s presence in Syria.
Israel’s military has taken a number of steps to increase preparedness after Hezbollah said in a statement this week that one of its fighters was killed in a Monday night strike blamed on Israel near Damascus International Airport, south of the Syrian capital.
