Israel army says clashed with Hizbollah on border

JERUSALEM (Reuters) – An Israeli soldier exchanged fire
with a Hizbollah gunman on the Israel-Lebanon border on Tuesday
but there was no report of casualties, an Israeli army
spokeswoman said.

She said a soldier positioned at Rosh Haniqra, an Israeli
town on the western edge of the frontier, was fired on by the
Hizbollah gunman and shot back.

Attacks by Hizbollah, a Shi’ite guerrilla group, helped end
Israel’s 22-year occupation of southern Lebanon in 2000.
