Tensions have been high between Israel and Lebanon for months, with flurries of tweets in June breathlessly sharing that Lebanon’s Hezbollah group had erected tents to shelter soldiers on “Israeli territory”, and general fears of a military escalation.
On Wednesday, on the anniversary of the beginning of Israel’s month-long war against Hezbollah in 2006, members of the Shia group were wounded in a flare-up on the border. A Lebanese security source confirmed the incident to AFP, saying the three had been “wounded by Israeli fire”.
