(VOVworld) - Hezbollah set off a large bomb on the western section of Mount Dov on the Israel-Lebanon border on Monday, targeting two armored military vehicles that were clearing a road in the area. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) responded with cross-border artillery fire at targets in Lebanon. IDF Spokesman Brig.-Gen. Moti Almoz said two heavy armored vehicles, one of which was a D-9 bulldozer, were targeted in the Hezbollah attack, describing the explosive that was set off as “relatively large.” Hezbollah said in a statement that the explosive device had been detonated in the Shaba Farms area and carried out by a group whom it named after Lebanese terrorist Samir Kuntar, a commander killed in December in Damascus.
