Reuters reports that Hezbollah bombed the Shebaa Farms border area in retaliation for Israeli shelling and the death of Samir Kuntar, a Hezbollah commander killed in Damascus.
Local Lebanese media reported Israel shelling Shebaa Farms, a town on the Israeli-Lebanese-Syrian border. Israel claims the attack was a preemptive measure to prevent Hezbollah from seeking revenge for the death of Kuntar.
