IDF Kills Hezbollah Gunman in Bint Jbeil Search

The IDF said soldiers searching the Bint Jbeil structure where a reservist was severely wounded last Thursday came under fire Tuesday from a Hezbollah terrorist operating inside the building. Troops immediately returned fire and eliminated him, with no IDF soldier injuries reported. Reports said an Oketz unit dog taking part in the search was killed in the exchange before its handler returned fire. The episode shows why Israel's security zone work in southern Lebanon remains active: Hezbollah is still trying to endanger soldiers and northern civilians from built-up areas near the border.
