Only days after agreeing on a ceasefire, the Israeli army says it carried out an overnight raid inside Lebanon aimed at disrupting an arms transfer. One soldier and three militants are reported to have died in the incident.
The Israeli army has justified the raid by claiming it was to prevent arms being delivered to Hezbollah by Iran and Syria.
An army spokesman told AFP news agency "Israeli army special forces operated deep inside Lebanon last night to foil terrorist operations against Israel.” adding that it would continue such operations to prevent Hezbollah's re-armament.
