From Ynet:

HEAVY EXCAHNGES OF FIRE BETWEEN IDF AND HIZBULLAH IN VILLAGE OF AITA

Heavy exchanges between the IDF and Hizbullah are taking place in the village of Aita in southern
Lebanon.

Earlier it was reported that IDF soldiers have hit approximately 20 Hizbullah operatives in the last two
days. (Hanan Greenberg)

------

Aita or Ayta az Zutt is found north of Bint Jubayl, about three times the distance from the israeli border.





Be real careful with that location, there are two places that could be, the other is WSW of Bent Jbail, on the border.

Earlier Hezbollah reports claimed fighting near Aita al Shaab, closer in spelling to Aiita ech Chaab than Aita ez Zutt.

Either one could be correct, till we know for sure we should probably hang a big question mark there.

Good maps here, for those who don't already have them:

Actually, both locations could be correct.

Oops! You are correct. Could be either one of them.

To make things evven more confusing in another article Ynet calls the town "Aitta (two "t"s), west of Metulla - could it be another name for At Taiba (with various other spellngs possible)?
