Troops die in Israel-Lebanon clash

The UN peacekeeping force in Lebanon says it has dispatched troops to the area [AFP] At least three Lebanese and one Israeli soldier have been killed during an exchange of rocket and gunfire along the border between the two countries. A journalist was also killed, and five more Lebanese soldiers wounded by Israeli shelling on Tuesday. The Israeli army did not say how the Israeli soldier was killed. "The Israelis fired four rockets that fell near a Lebanese army position in the village of Adaisseh and the Lebanese army fired back," a Lebanese security official in the area said. Hezbollah's Al Manar television station said a high-ranking Israeli soldier was also killed in the border incident. The report could not be independently verified, and the Israeli army refused to comment. Lebanese news sources reported that the journalist killed was Assaf Abou Rahhal, from the Lebanese newspaper Al-Akhbar. Lebanese witnesses said that Israeli shells are continuing to hit Adaisseh village. The clashes erupted after Israeli soldiers reportedly attempted to uproot trees on the Lebanese side of the border.
