CLICK AND WATCH Israel fires into Lebanon after attack

The Israeli regime is not interested in a further escalation along its northern border, a government official said Thursday on condition of anonymity to Israel Radio, a day after the worst exchange of fire between Israel and Lebanon’s Hezbollah since a 2006 war.

The Israel-Lebanon border remained tense Thursday amid international efforts to avoid an escalation following the worst exchange of fire between Israeli soldiers and the Iran-backed Hezbollah militia since the 2006 war.

Two Israeli soldiers and a Spanish UN peacekeeper were killed Wednesday. The violence started when Hezbollah launched anti-tank missiles at an Israeli convoy driving along the border near the village of Ghajar, on the Israeli-occupied side of the Golan Heights.

Meanwhile the telegraph reports, “Big Question: On edge after Hizbollah’s attack on an Israeli army patrol yesterday, both sides are weighing their options”.

Hizbollah decided to launch a smaller-scale retaliatory attack, instead of a large-scale escalatory operation. This should be viewed as a signal by Hizbollah of its apparent reluctance to engage in an all-out war with Israel.

After Wednesday’s border attack, Hizbollah apparently signaled to Israel via the UN peacekeeping force in Lebanon that they seek calm and are content not to escalate further, indicating that they view their latest border attack as having fulfilled their criteria for retaliation for the Israeli air strike two weeks ago, a government official said Thursday on condition of anonymity to Israel Radio.

Israeli war Minister Moshe Ya'alon also claimed that Israel has received a message from the Lebanese group Hezbollah that it was backing away from further violence. Yaalon said on Thursday that Israel received the message through the United Nations peacekeeping force in Lebanon (UNIFIL), saying that Hezbollah was not interested in further escalation.

Lebanese sources reported Thursday that Hezbollah's cross-border strike on Wednesday was intended to hurt a senior IDF officer. They claimed the size of the convoy pointed to the fact that a high-ranking Israeli was present and thus the cell, which included no more than five militants, decided to open fire, Israeli “ynetnews.com” reported.
