JERUSALEM, March 26 (Xinhua) -- The Israeli military said on Thursday that one of its soldiers was killed after a Hezbollah anti-tank missile struck his tank in southern Lebanon.
During the same incident, two officers and two soldiers from the 77th Battalion of the 7th Armored Brigade were lightly wounded, the military said in a statement, without providing further details.
Hezbollah said that fierce clashes had taken place along the Lebanese-Israeli border and that its fighters targeted a gathering of Israeli troops and vehicles in the Al-Jame' neighborhood of the border town of Naqoura with a rocket barrage.
The incident came as Israel sent more troops into southern Lebanon, saying it aims to seize territory up to the Litani River. ■
