A Hezbollah operative threw a fragmentation grenade at an Israeli military force operating in the security zone along the northern border near 22:00 Thursday night, a single source reports. Three soldiers were wounded; the assailant was killed at the scene.
The incident is the latest in a series of exchanges along the northern frontier. The Zioneer previously reported a June 25 incident in which IDF troops engaged a Hezbollah cell in southern Lebanon, killing two operatives. That same day, a separate reported engagement also resulted in two Hezbollah operatives killed. The source for Thursday's grenade attack did not specify the exact location within the security zone, nor has it identified the wounded soldiers' conditions. No official IDF statement has been released yet.
