Beirut, Lebanon | AFP | Monday 1/4/2016 - 14:05 GMT

Lebanon's Hezbollah movement on Monday targeted an Israeli army border patrol with an explosive device, prompting the Jewish state to shell a Lebanese border town, security sources and Israel's military said.

It was not immediately clear if the blast hit the patrol or caused damage or injuries. Lebanese security sources said Israel responded with artillery fire into two Lebanese villages in the Shebaa Farms region.
