Hezbollah Israel convoy attack: Israeli army 'kills Spanish soldier' as UN peacekeepers get caught in retaliatory shelling



Israel says two of its soldiers died in an attack on a military convoy, which has been claimed by the Hezbollah militant group

The Israeli army has reportedly killed a Spanish soldier working with UN peacekeepers on the border with Lebanon, as an exchange of fire took place between the Hezbollah militant group and Benjamin Netanyahu's armed forces.

The Israeli Defence Force (IDF) said two of its soldiers were killed in an earlier anti-tank missile strike on a military convoy, which was accompanied by shelling in the disputed border region of Shebaa Farms.

The UN peacekeeper died in the aftermath, as Israel responded with at least 50 artillery shells and a series of air strikes, according to Spanish officials and a spokesperson for the UN Interim Force in Lebanon (Unifil).

Hezbollah has claimed responsibility for the initial attack on the convoy, which Lebanese officials described as a “big” and “sophisticated operation”

So Hezbollah is hiding behind UN peacekeepers now instead of women and children. I suppose that is a step up, though still very cowardly.
