  • Story Text: Three Israeli soldiers were wounded in an attack by the pro-Iranian Hizbollah group in southern Lebanon on Saturday (August 12).

    The injured, including one officer left in a serious condition, were hit by mortar shells fired at their outpost in the east of Israel's 15 km (nine miles) occupation zone in southern Lebanon.

    In reaction Israeli jet fighters flew low over the Iqlim al-Toufah heights, a Hizbollah bastion, and the southern town of Nabatiyeh. Israeli artillery also shelled the outskirts of the town but no casualties were reported.

    In Beirut, Hizbollah (Party of God) claimed responsibility for the attack.
