The Israeli army claims to have bombed a suspected Hezbollah headquarters in southern Lebanon. The bombing occurred hours after an Israeli army base in the north of the country was hit by artillery fire from southern Lebanon. The Israeli army stated that anti-aircraft fire was launched by Hezbollah, but Hezbollah remained silent on the matter. No reports of casualties or injuries have been received yet. Earlier this month, Hezbollah targeted Israeli positions in the disputed 'Shebaa' farms. Hezbollah's action was a response to Israeli airstrikes on Hezbollah positions at the southern edge of Beirut. The Lebanese government has complained to the United Nations about this attack.
