- Story Text: Israeli forces shelled several villages in southeastern Lebanon on Friday (June 10), unleashing heavy artillery fire onto the villages of Qilya, Ain el-Tineh and Zallaya in the western Bekaa Valley.
The villages are just north of Israel's self-declared security zone in southern Lebanon.
One Lebanese soldier was killed and eight people, including soldiers were wounded, security sources said.
"Lebanese troops in the area are in a state of high alert," one source told Reuters.
Guerrillas of the pro-Iranian Hizbollah (Party of God), who launch attacks from the area against Israeli forces and their South Lebanon Army (SLA) militia allies in the zone, retaliated with mortar bombs onto Israeli and SLA positions in the border buffer strip, the sources added.
