August 14, 2006
JERUSALEM (Reuters) – Israeli troops shot dead a Hizbollah
fighter in Lebanon on Monday after he opened fire on them,
marking the first casualty since a ceasefire went into effect,
local media reported.
Army Radio and the Haaretz newspaper’s Web site said the
shooting took place in southwest Lebanon.
A military spokesman said the man was among a group of
“armed terrorists” who approached the army position, but he
declined to say whether the gunman had been killed.
“We will continue to defend our forces acting in the area,”
the spokesman said.
