Four Israeli soldiers were lightly wounded in the southern Lebanon security zone Tuesday, when Hezbollah forces north of the zone fired an anti-tank missile at their vehicle.
The wounded soldiers were flown from the Kawkabeh region in the eastern sector of the zone to a hospital in Haifa to be treated for concussion, shock and shrapnel wounds.
Four Katyusha rockets were fired shortly afterward at an Israel Defense Force position near the site of the first attack, apparently in response to heavy countershelling by IDF and the Israeli-allied South Lebanon Army forces.
