Soldier Killed in Ita A-Sha'ab Clashes

Fourteen others were wounded - two seriously - during heavy exchanges of fire between IDF and Hezbollah in the southern Lebanese village of Ita A-Sha'ab Saturday afternoon.

OC Northern Command Maj.-Gen. Udi Adam said on Saturday that he expected to see a decrease in the extent and range of the Hezbollah rocket attacks on Israel, as the terrorists would be pushed further and further northward.

On the other hand, he said in an interview to Army Radio that the terrorist organization would retain a certain launch capability.

His statements came just one day after rockets reached further south than ever before, landing near Hadera, some 90 kilometers from the Lebanese border.
