Israeli warplanes bombed two sites in southern Lebanon on Tuesday and warned Syria about backing Hezbollah. This came one day after Hezbollah fired a rocket that killed an Israeli soldier and injured another when their Israeli armored bulldozer crossed the Lebanese border. Originally Israel claimed the bulldozer was inside Israel’s border but later admitted it had crossed into Lebanon. Israel said the bulldozer was removing landmines along the border. Israel’s bombing raid marked its first attack on Lebanon since August.
