Israeli jets attack Hezbollah in Lebanon

Israeli warplanes attacked Hezbollah guerrilla targets in south Lebanon on Tuesday, an Israeli TV station reported.

Channel Two TV said Israeli jets hit Hezbollah bases in the Bekaa Valley, the area of south Lebanon closest to the Syrian border. The report said at least four explosions were heard.

The air strike followed a border incident yesterday. Hezbollah guerrillas fired an anti-tank missile at an Israeli bulldozer clearing explosives, killing an Israeli soldier and seriously wounding another.

Israeli military officials confirmed an attack had been launched on Hezbollah bases in the Bekaa Valley.

There were no immediate reports of casualties.

The officials said the decision to attack Hezbollah targets was made at a four-hour meeting of senior military commanders today
