An
Al-Qaeda-linked group that has been operating increasingly in Lebanon
claimed responsibility via Twitter for an attack on an IDF patrol
Friday. The Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) has been
fighting against Hezbollah and the Bashar Assad regime in Syria, with
clashes and targeted bombings spilling over into Lebanon in recent
months.
It was initially reported by Israeli media that the attack on the IDF jeep in the Har Dov area, near the Israeli-Lebanese border, was perpetrated by Hezbollah. The IDF fired on several targets across the border in retaliation, including tank fire at a Hezbollah position in the Lebanese village Kfar Kileh.
Three Israeli soldiers were taken to
a hospital to “rule out” any internal injuries from the blast,
according to Israel Radio. Residents in the area of Har Dov reported
hearing two loud explosions. Hezbollah’s Al-Manar TV station said
that Israeli forces had fired shells into the area of Kfar Chouba,
north of the border. There were no injuries reported. The army said
it was investigating the circumstances surrounding the incident.
Residents
of northern Israel, from Kiryat Shmona eastward to the Golan Heights,
were cautioned to stay away from the border. The Lebanese army
declared a state of alert, according to Israel’s Channel 1 News,
and eyewitnesses reported seeing increased UNIFIL patrols in the
border area late in the evening.
My
comments: Israel is under constant and relentless attack.
