Shooting erupts on Israel-Lebanon border

[TRUTH]

JERUSALEM - Shooting erupted on the Israel-Lebanon border during an Israeli operation to search for bombs planted by Hezbollah guerillas late Wednesday night, the army said.

The army said troops operating in Israeli territory along the frontier came under fire,and that the source of the shooting was apparently Lebanese troops nearby. When the attackers refused to cease fire, the Israeli troops opened fire at them, the army said.

The gunfire came as Israeli armored bulldozers searched for explosives planted by Hezbollah guerrillas along the frontier, the army said.The army said its vehicles were clearing land and searching for bombs near the spot where Israeli troops discovered four explosive devices planted by Hezbollah on Monday.

The bulldozers crossed the heavily guarded border fence but remained in Israeli territory, which extends north of the fence in that area, the army said.

Liam McDowall, a spokesman for the U.N. peacekeepers stationed in south Lebanon, said the international force received no reports of any incidents along the border.

Israel said the bombs it discovered on Monday were planted recently, under the cover of bad weather, which would mean that Hezbollah violated the U.N.-brokered cease-fire that ended the 34-day war between Israel and Hezbollah last summer. The truce accord also requires international peacekeepers to prevent new attacks on Israel.

Hezbollah denied the allegation, saying the explosives were planted before the war. U.N. officials were looking into the Israeli report
