“Hezbollah fired 2-3 anti-tank missiles from Lebanon, hitting an IDF military outpost and ambulance in northern Israel,” the IDF tweeted. “We fired at the Hezbollah squad responsible. No Israelis were injured in the attack.”

The IDF ordered Israeli residents living within about 2.5 miles of the border to shelter in place, as they launched more than 100 artillery shells in retaliation, according to The Jerusalem Post.

There were no immediate reports of casualties in Lebanon, but the nation’s army reported that an Israeli drone dumping incendiary material along the border sparked a forest fire, according to the outlet.

What constitues a ‘forest fire’ in Lebanon? A stand of cedar trees?

This is quite an important story, but not getting a lot of airplay, because of the crisis in Hong Kong.

Probably the "Lebanese" "army" mistook those Mossad-trained birds for drones, and then had the Hizzies start firing. Yeah, that must be it. Thanks BenLurkin.

Other than a few targeted rounds, the rest were deliberately aimed at an open unpopulated area. The usual IDF ammo wasting tactic.

What a class act, shooting a rocket at an ambulance.
