Hezbollah ambush kills at least 2 Israeli soldiers

MARJAYOUN, Lebanon: Hezbollah fighters attacked an Israeli military convoy Wednesday in the occupied Shebaa Farms, in south Lebanon, killing at least two soldiers, in retaliation for Israel's recent airstrike in the Golan Heights.

A U.N. Sanish peacekeeper was also killed in the heavy exchange of fire that followed the Hezbollah attack, as UNIFIL commander Maj. Gen. Luciano Portolano urged "maximum restraint" from all parties to prevent escalation on the Lebanese-Israeli frontier, Reuters reported.

Media reports had earlier said that four Israeli soldiers were killed in the attack.

U.N. Special Coordinator for Lebanon Sigrid Kaag called on all parties "to refrain from any actions that could destabilize the situation further."

2. What did Israel expect? It just killed Hezbollah fighters and an Iranian general in Syria.

Netanyahu might want to ponder his last war with Hezbollah.
