IDF Troops Killed Terrorists Who Infiltrated From Lebanon Border

IDF soldiers backed by helicopters killed at least two terrorists who crossed the border from Lebanon on Monday afternoon, in a sign of a possible new front opening as Israel’s forces battled Palestinian Hamas terrorists in Gaza.

Artillery shelling and gunfire were heard at Lebanon’s southern border with Israel, a correspondent for Hezbollah’s Al-Manar channel said in a post on social media.

A Hezbollah official said the group had not mounted any operation into Israel.

In a statement, the IDF said its soldiers “killed a number of armed suspects who infiltrated into Israeli territory from Lebanese territory.”

Military helicopters “are currently striking in the area,” the statement added.

Army Radio gave the location as being near Adamit, across from the Lebanese border towns of Aalma El Chaeb and Zahajra.
