Two killed by Israeli fire in southern Lebanon
Two killed by Israeli fire in southern Lebanon Two people have been killed by Israeli fire in southern Lebanon on Tuesday, the country's National News Agency is reporting. According to the report, two men were killed when Israeli soldiers “opened fire with their machine-guns in their direction while they were standing near an excavator that was unblocking a road” in a town near the city of Nabatieh. The deaths are the first reported from Israeli fire since a fragile US-brokered ceasefire was implemented on Sunday. Hezbollah condemned the attack as a blatant violation of the agreement. The Israeli forces said its fighters had “struck armed terrorists who posed an immediate threat” to soldiers in the Ali al-Taher ridge area, which they said falls within an area which the millitary have declared a security zone.
