An Israeli soldier was killed and three wounded in southern Lebanon in a clash with Hezbollah fighters, according to media reports. The clash in a no-man’s land near the Israeli security zone came after the death of a Hezbollah commander in a roadside bombing in the Lebanese port city of Sidon. Hezbollah is holding Israel responsible for that bombing, but Israel said it had nothing to do with it and suspects it might have been carried out by a rival Lebanese group.
