Took 6 shots to kill the guy?? Not much of a sniper.
However it seems a pretty provocative act to murder a soldier who is on his own territory.
What can be done about it?

Leveling a few moderately populated neighborhoods in Beirut ought to get the point across.

Since Israel is small, bordering territory is mapped and photographed in great detail, and Israel has amazing intelligence gathering. The name and location of the shooter could be already known.
Firing multiple shots from across this border without raising alarm probably means a breach of normal Israeli security procedures. Someone’s in trouble.

“Leveling a few moderately populated neighborhoods in Beirut ought to get the point across.”
I remember one WWII story of an American unit advancing into Germany. They took some sniper fire as they approached so they pulled back and put artillery on the town all night. They didn’t have any more trouble with that town, IIRC.

...a soldier from the Lebanese Armed Forces who apparently was acting alone.
I wouldn't assume that. If they catch him, he'll probably spend a few years in jail and then be traded back for some new "peace process".

Firing a half dozen .50 BMG rounds would seem to attract a LOT of attention. There would seem to be more to this story.

That is what they are all about — provocation. They don’t want peace.

FWIW
Someone who knows these things told me the rifle in question is a Chinese M99, which also uses the .50 BMG. Such rifles are fairly common in warring areas of Africa.
