Two Soldiers Killed in Clash With Hezbollah Inside Lebanese Territory

Two Israel Defense Forces soldiers were killed Wednesday during heavy exchanges of fire with Hezbollah guerillas inside Lebanese territory, across the Israel-Lebanon border.

The gunbattle broke out close to Moshav Avivim, which is located along the border, north of Safed.

A number of IDF ground troops crossed into southern Lebanon earlier Wednesday to carry out "pinpoint" attacks on Hezbollah outposts.
