‘Israeli’ forces kill armed gunman crossed Lebanon border after firefight

‘Israel’s’ Channel 12 reported that the ‘Israeli’ military has shot and killed an armed individual who opened fire at an ‘Israeli’ army unit operating close to the border fence with Lebanon.

Kan News reported that the armed individual successfully crossed the border fence from Lebanon into ‘Israel’ before opening fire at an army unit.

In the immediate aftermath of the infiltration, a fleet of ‘Israeli’ attack helicopters launched intensive combat sorties directly over the border area, according to Hebrew media.

‘Israel’s’ Army Radio reported that authorities have closed the border road linking Yiftah and Manara in the north after ‘Israeli’ military forces operating near the Lebanese frontier came under fire.

The ‘Israeli’ military commented that its soldiers operating in the Ramim Ridge area near the Lebanese frontier returned fire and eliminated a gunman following a shooting attack targeting their position; no military injuries were reported, and ‘Israeli’ Air Force aircraft have been scrambled to support ongoing searches as the incident continues.

This is a developing story.
