JERUSALEM (Reuters) – The Israeli military said a there has been a “security incident” on Israel’s northern border with Lebanon on Monday and ordered residents in the area to remain indoors.
Israel’s N12 TV News reported an exchange of fire between Israeli forces and militants and said explosions were heard in the area.
Tension rose along the Israel’s northern frontiers with Lebanon and Syria, including the occupied Golan Heights, after a fighter of the Iranian-backed Lebanese Shi’ite group Hezbollah was killed in an apparent Israeli strike on the edge of Damascus last Monday.
