Hezbollah says it launched missiles at Israeli soldiers

Hezbollah said on Tuesday it attacked a group of Israeli soldiers near the vicinity of Marj with missiles.

The attack is the first cross-border fire by Hezbollah since top Hamas official Saleh al-Arouri and other commanders of the al-Qassam Brigades were assassinated by an Israeli drone strike in a southern suburb of Beirut earlier Tuesday.

The attack happened across from the Lebanese border town of Markaba, Hezbollah said. 

Israeli officials say they are bracing for potential long-range ballistic missile attacks by Hezbollah.
