Lebanon-Israel Border Area

Israel says it has reinforced its northern area with thousands of extra units after trading fire with Lebanon. Its army shelled militant targets in Lebanon after two missiles were fired at an Israeli military post near the unofficial border. Three people were injured in the shelling which hit several towns and villages, Lebanese state media said. The Hezbollah movement said the missiles were a response to the killing of three of its fighters on Monday. The exchange came as Israel bombed Gaza in retaliation for Palestinian militant group Hamas' unprecedented attack.
