An explosive device detonated along the border near an Israeli position. Israel then responded by firing on Hizbullah positions inside Lebanon.

An explosive charge detonated Friday evening near Har Dov in the vicinity of the Israel-Lebanon border.

No wounded were reported in the attack which targeted an IDF force. The Israeli army said it is investigating the incident.

The IDF fired at a Hezbollah position near the border north of the Israeli city of Metula, using tanks stationed in the area and artillery.

A high-ranking officer told reporters that no Hezbollah casualties are known, and noted that the retaliatory fire was “automatic, as a result of understanding the incident.” He added that the IDF currently considers Hezbollah as involved in the incident. The IDF is still uncertain where exactly the charge was placed and what was it made of.

The Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL), an extremist al-Qaeda linked group whose militants are fighting in Syria, claimed responsibility for the attack on the patrol.

Lebanese sources reported the IDF fired five artillery shells at open terrain near Lebanese villages, causing no injuries.
