Hezbollah takes responsibility for attack on Israeli patrol in Shebaa

Lebanon’s Hezbollah movement claimed in a statement on Monday responsibility for an attack on an Israeli patrol in Shebaa Farms on Lebanese-Syrian border.

According to Al Arabiya TV channel, Hezbollah said an Israeli armed vehicle was destroyed with its crew wounded at the Shebaa farms area.

Security sources and Israel’s military said Hezbollah targeting an Israeli army border patrol with an explosive device has prompted Tel Aviv to shell a Lebanese border town.

Initially, it was not immediately clear if the blast hit the patrol or caused damage or injuries. Lebanese security sources said Israel responded with artillery fire into two Lebanese villages in the Shebaa Farms region.

Earlier, Hezbollah sources said Israeli intelligence Mossad officers were targeted in Shebaa farms and that a bulldozer was destroyed.
