Hezbollah Attack Wounds 6 Israeli Soldiers

Hezbollah guerrillas attacked Israeli forces in a disputed part of the south Lebanon border Wednesday, wounding six soldiers and triggering an Israeli airstrike. Israeli and Arab television reports said at least one Hezbollah fighter was killed, but an official for the militant group said he had no word of casualties. The guerrillas attacked three Israeli positions in Shebaa Farms, an area where the borders of Lebanon, Syria and Israel meet, with mortars and rocket-propelled grenades, Hezbollah's Al Manar TV channel and Lebanese security officials said.

In Israel, the country's northern commander, Maj. Gen. Benny Gantz, reiterated calls for the Lebanese government to rein in Hezbollah, saying the exchange began when Hezbollah guerrillas infiltrated across the border. "The Lebanese government has to act," Gantz said. "Hezbollah is always trying to be an active guerrilla group."

The Israeli Defense Force said Hezbollah mounted a coordinated attack, firing mortar shells and small arms at one of their bases in Chebaa Farms. Six soldiers were wounded in the clash, one seriously, an IDF official said, speaking on customary condition of anonymity. In response, Israeli warplanes struck Hezbollah positions in south Lebanon, the Israeli officials said. Lebanese security officials said Israeli warplanes fired six missiles at suspected hideouts near Kfar Chouba and Chebaa village. Israeli TV reported one Hezbollah fighter was killed, but did not give a source. The pan-Arab Al-Arabiya TV said two Hezbollah gunmen were killed.

#2 Hezbollah guerrillas attacked Israeli forces in a disputed part of the south Lebanon border

How can it be disputed if the UN accepts the border as it is, after the Israeli withdrawal from Lebanon?
