Hizballah, the militant organization operating in Southern Lebanon, fired an anti-tank missile at an Israeli military convoy along the Lebanese border on Wednesday, killing two Israeli soldiers. Israel retaliated by firing 25 artillery shells into Lebanon, as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed to respond “forcefully” to attacks across the country’s increasingly tense and volatile northern border.
