Israeli army says troops kill gunman who entered Israel from Lebanon
The Israeli army on Tuesday said its forces killed a gunman who had managed to infiltrate Israeli territory from Lebanon and opened fire on its troops.
"A short while ago, an initial report was received regarding a shooting toward IDF (Israeli army) soldiers operating in the Ramim Ridge area," the army said, referring to a mountainous area stretching between Israel and Lebanon.
"The soldiers returned fire and eliminated a terrorist in the area. No IDF injuries were reported," the army said, confirming to AFP that the gunman had managed to enter Israel.
The Israeli army radio meanwhile said that the slain militant was wearing Hezbollah military fatigues.
