Itongadol.- Two IDF soldiers were injured when a bomb went off in their vicinity in the Har Dov region on Tuesday, the IDF Spokesman\’s Unit said.
The soldiers received initial emergency medical treatment on the spot, before being evacuated away from the Lebanese border to hospital for further treatment.
According to Lebanese media reports, Israel returned fire into south Lebanon following the explosion.
A senior army source told The Jerusalem Post that "the incident hasn\’t ended yet from our standpoint."
The incident came after IDF soldiers opened fire on a cell trying to infiltrate Israel from Lebanon on Sunday.
An IDF unit dealing with operational security identified the men crossing the border, heading into Israel.
The soldiers opened fire with small arms, apparently hitting one of the infiltrators.
“The cell fled back into Lebanese territory,” the army said.
According to Lebanese media reports, Israeli cross-border fire wounded a Lebanese soldier near Kafr Shuba.
