Israeli warplanes raided a suspected Hezbollah hideout in southern Lebanon today, shortly after guerillas had fired at jets that violated the country’s air space.
Officials in southern Lebanon said two Israeli fighter jets fired at least one missile at a valley near the village of Zibqine, south-east of the port city of Tyre.
Black smoke billowed from the area. There was no immediate word on casualties.
The Israeli air strike, the first in southern Lebanon since March, came two hours after Hezbollah anti-aircraft guns fired on Israeli warplanes that flew over southern Lebanon.
