Hamas praised Hezbollah Wednesday for its attack on Israeli soldiers, Army Radio reported.

"We feel that this action was proof that the Zionist enemy is weak and fragile," one of Hamas's spokesmen said of the attack earlier in the day that injured several IDF soldiers and hit a house on the Lebanese border. 

Israel shelled southern Lebanon earlier today.

Reuters followed with news that Lebanon fired an anti-tank guided missile at an IDF convoy in Northern Israel. Hezbollah has since claimed responsibility for the attack.

"At 11:25 (0925 GMT) this morning, the Quneitra martyrs of the Islamic Resistance (Hezbollah) targeted an Israeli military convoy in the Shebaa Farms composed of several vehicles which was transporting several Zionist soldiers and officers," Hezbollah said in a statement broadcast on the group's Al-Manar television channel, reports AFP. 

"There were several casualties in the enemy's ranks," it said.
