Two Israeli soldiers were killed and seven wounded on Wednesday in a Hizbullah attack on a military convoy in the occupied Shebaa Farms.

The Israeli army announced that two of its troops were killed, while a spokesman said seven Israeli soldiers were “lightly-to-moderately wounded” in the attack.

Chief Israeli army spokesman Brigadier General Moti Almoz explained that the unrest unfolded when an anti-tank missile fired from the South struck an Israeli military vehicle that was traveling with other vehicles, reported Jerusalem Post.

No one was kidnapped in the incident, he added.

"This is not necessarily the last response," Almoz warned on Twitter.

The attack in the occupied-Shebaa Farms prompted Israel to shell areas in southern Lebanon in a significant escalation along the volatile border.

No Lebanese citizens were injured in the Israeli shelling.

According to al-Jadeed television, the Israeli army informed UNIFIL that it would not carry out further strikes in response to Hizbullah's operation.

The Israeli army said an anti-tank missile targeted the vehicle near Shebaa Farms, a disputed tract of land where the borders of Israel, Lebanon and Syria meet.

The army said the residents of the area were ordered to remain in their homes.

A high-ranking Israeli army official said six anti-tank missiles were launched at the convoy.

“Three of the missiles hit the IDF convoy and 1 hit a home in Ghajar,” the official noted.

The Israeli army identified its slain troops as 25-year-old Captain Yochai Kalangel, an officer in the Tsavar Battalion of the Givati Brigade, and Sergeant Dor Haim Nini, 20, a member of the same battalion.

Citing a preliminary military investigation, the Jerusalem Post newspaper said “at least five Kornet missiles were fired at the Israeli convoy from a distance of at least four kilometers.”

“A military D-max vehicle was the first vehicle hit in the attack, prompting all of those inside an IDF jeep behind it to quickly evacuate the vehicle before it too was hit with missiles. The subsequent injuries came from military vehicles nearby,” the Jerusalem Post added.

Images broadcast from the scene showed large plumes of white smoke billowing across the area and police sealed off several roads close to the border in northern Israel.

The Israeli army's chief of staff Lt. Gen. Benny Gantz convened an emergency meeting to evaluate the situation.

Following the missile attack, Lebanese security officials said Israel fired at least 50 artillery shells into Lebanon.

The officials said the shelling targeted the border villages of Majidiyeh, Abbasiyeh and Kfarshouba near the Shebaa Farms area.

Two sources told Agence France-Presse that more than a dozen shells had been fired on Lebanese border villages and that Israeli warplanes were flying over the area.

"At least 15 shells have been fired against five villages in the south," one security source said, adding that Majidiyeh was hardest hit.

A 36-year-old Spanish corporal from the U.N. peacekeeping force in southern Lebanon was killed in the exchange of fire, officials said.

The 10,000-strong UNIFIL mission said it had observed 11 rockets fired towards Israel from southern Lebanon and that Israeli forces "returned artillery fire in the same general area."

It said the precise cause of the peacekeeper's death was "as yet undetermined" and urged all sides to show "maximum restraint to prevent an escalation."

“At around 11:30 am this morning, UNIFIL observed six rockets launched towards Israel from the vicinity of Wazzani north of Maysat in the UNIFIL area of operations. The IDF returned artillery fire in the same general area,” UNIFIL said in a statement.

UNIFIL Commander Major-General Luciano Portolano was in immediate contact with the parties to help control the situation and prevent further escalation, it added.

“In the meantime, at around 1:30 pm five rockets were fired from the general area of Kfarshouba towards Israel. The IDF fired artillery rounds towards the source of fire,” UNIFIL said.

Portolano strongly condemned “this serious violation of U.N. Security Council Resolution 1701,” UNIFIL stated.

Lebanon's National News Agency said that Hizbullah retaliated to the Israeli attacks by shelling an area near Shebaa Farms.

Wednesday's developments came amid heightened tension after the January 18 Israeli strike against a Hizbullah convoy in Quneitra on the Syrian side of the Golan Heights.

The strike killed six Hizbullah members, including Mohammed Issa, a commander responsible for its Syrian and Iraqi operations, as well as Jihad Mughniyeh, the son of Imad Mughniyeh, a top Hizbullah operative killed in a 2008 car bombing in Syria which was blamed on Israel.

Senior Iranian general Mohammad Ali Allahdadi was also killed in the Israeli attack, which had prompted Tehran to warn Israel that it should "await destructive thunderbolts."

Hizbullah said in its claim of responsibility that it targeted several vehicles transporting officers and soldiers with missiles to avenge the Israeli raid on Quneitra.

The party's fighters from a group calling itself the "heroic martyrs of Quneitra” destroyed a number of Israeli vehicles and caused casualties among "enemy ranks,” it said in a statement.

Al-Manar TV said Hizbullah targeted nine vehicles, and that it had killed "a large number" of troops.

Following the operation, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Tel Aviv was ready to react forcibly wherever it comes under attack.

The army "is ready to act with force on any front," he added, warning that Israel's response to any attack would be harsh.

In the evening, Netanyahu convened an emergency session with Israel's security chiefs to discuss options, his office said.

The premier "is at this hour convening a security situation assessment at defense headquarters in Tel Aviv," his office said, adding among those taking part were Defense Minister Moshe Yaalon, armed forces chief Lieutenant General Benny Gantz, and the head of the Shin Bet security service.

"Those behind today's attack will pay the full price," the statement quoted Netanyahu as saying, accusing Iran of using Hizbullah as a proxy along Israel's northern flanks.

Netanyahu also sent a warning to the Lebanese government of Lebanon and to Syrian President Bashar Assad from whose territories Wednesday's attack and Tuesday's rocket fire on the Golan Heights were launched.

"The government of Lebanon and the Assad regime share responsibility for the consequences of attacks originating in their territory against the state of Israel," he said.

Hardline Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman said Israel should respond to the attack "in a very harsh and disproportionate manner, as China or the U.S. would respond to similar incidents."

Israel's Yediot Ahronot newspaper meanwhile said "Hizbullah sent a message to Israel via the U.N. peacekeepers' commander in Lebanon on Wednesday night, saying the organization was not interested in further escalation and describing the ambush as 'an eye for an eye' revenge for a Jan. 18 strike in Syria."

Israel told the U.N. Security Council that it will exercise its right to self-defense after the Hizbullah attack.

Israeli Ambassador Ron Prosor urged the 15-member council to "unequivocally and publicly condemn Hizbullah" in a letter also sent to Secretary General Ban Ki-moon.

"Israel will not stand by as Hizbullah targets Israelis," wrote Prosor.

"Israel will not accept any attacks on its territory and it will exercise its right to self-defense and take all necessary measures to protect its population."

Israel declared its northern and Golan region as a military zone in the wake of the Shebaa attack.

On the Israeli side, Israeli security sources said at least one house in the divided village of Ghajar had been hit but there was no immediate word on casualties.

Half of the village lies in Lebanon and the rest lies in the Israeli-occupied sector.

All roads to the village were blocked off by Israeli police, with a crowd of villagers anxiously waiting to get home to check on their families.

"Three houses were hit by rockets," said Hussein, 31, relaying what he had heard by telephone from relatives in the village of 2,000 inhabitants.

He said a number of villagers had been wounded but did not know how badly.

Other frantic family members argued with police to be allowed in to collect their children, who had been locked inside the village school for their own safety.

In 2006, Israel fought a bloody war against Hizbullah that killed more than 1,200 people in Lebanon, mostly civilians, and some 160 Israelis, mostly soldiers.

The Shebaa Farms area is a mountainous, narrow sliver of land rich in water resources measuring 25 square kilometers. It has been occupied by Israel since the 1967 Middle East war.

Since Israeli troops withdrew from south Lebanon in 2000, Shebaa has become an area of friction between Israel and Hizbullah.

Didn't HA ministers just assure the cabinet in its last meeting a few days ago that it intends to keep the borders with Israel calm?! Just like in 2006 when Nassrallah said enjoy the summer and a few days later his party carried out an attack on Israel that led to a devastating war on Lebanon. Did HA consult with the government.... with the army that they so dearly love and respect.... with the people's representatives in Parliament. I am sure NOT. This a party that works against the good of Lebanon and its people.

We cannot plan for our future, we cannot make any contingencies, nothing, because we have two screwed up entities that simply cannot leave us Lebanese some space or some peace. All this hullabaloo stuff coming from you is nothing but rants.

This proves again that the filthy murdering militia cares not of Lebanon.

Oh my God guys, a couple Israeli soldiers killed; they respond with artillery, more retaliations from our Islamic mou2awame, they kidnap a couple Israeli soldiers, Israel invades Lebanon and drops 10,000 airstrikes, destroying the entire country, 100 IDF troops killed, no resistance fighters killed, and it shall be a divine victory for the mou2awame and the streets of Dahye shall become like Times Square on NYE, just complete pandemonium. "Hail our heroic martyrs!" they shout, and the chants continue all day, and at night people drink Laziza non-alcoholic beer in honour of the martyrs. Yes Hezbollah, your 30 days of conflict with Israel was real, it was bloody, your martyrs did not die in vain, rather their blood spells out the word "victory." Hail the resistance, and the Lebanese who don't support it are traitors!

It's sad, 2 foreign groups on land that's not theirs...and they're up to the same nonsense again...and the original people of the area will suffer yet again for their equally astounding arrogance.

...flamethrower-:
"about south africa"... "no we are not all equal, apparently."

By that rationale we could also say that Israel built a country and get what they want. meanwhile arabs are more than glad to massacre each other. So no we are not all equal, apparently?

In the late 60s and 70s Arafat's PLO terrorists used to claim legitimate right to conduct operations again the Zionist entity independent of the Lebanese state causing Israeli retaliation. When the Lebanese state tried to rain in Arafat's PLO terrorists they, supported by the Leftists, Syrian and Arab nationalists supported first by Nasser then by Hafez Assad and Muslims leaders, turned on the State destroying everything in their wake. Hezballah the new PLO; God save Lebanon.

I predict Israel will go after Hezbollah positions in Syria.

Previously, Hezbollah has specialized in asymmetrical warfare, for example:

1. Hiding among civilian population when sending rockets into non military targets.
2. Dressed as civilians when counterattacking the invading forces.

In this manner above, Hezbollah is a more difficult to target by conventional means.

Within the last 2-3 years however, Hezbollah is forced to fight more conventional warfare in Syria. This leaves Hezbollah assets more vulnerable to attacks from conventional air assaults (which the Syrian opposition is not capable of doing).

When Israel decides to strike at Hezbollah, they will find some easily identified targets in Syria.

@ Mystic, you are so funny, calling LF/Kataeb cowards.. They fought both palestinians and Syrians and resisted for 15 years without them even thinking of going into christians areas... Also they have protected many times chiites from slaughter in south Lebanon when palestinians militias were raping your women and children.

Also, before i forget the cheering when Israel entered Lebanon in 82, not to forget the hundreds of chiites agents of Mossad bought by Israel, from those big responsibles of Hezbollah that they themselves have admitted were breached. Not to forget the hundreds of families fleeing from the south in 2006 to others areas of Lebanon.

@ Mystic

This time, they know they will be welcomed no where, thats why Hezbollah sent a letter to Israel saying it doesnt want any escalation. It has his hands full from IS/nusra/etc... Israel and Hezbollah are opposites but working for the same interest, Israel wants Lebanon never to rise, and Hezbollah wants Lebanon under its control as a part of Iran.

you fools of Hezbollah are now learning real warfare in Syria that LF/Kataeb have acquired so long ago. fighting Israel is nothing on the ground, specially when u hide behind garbages in villages and shoot rockets from people's houses... Loving the courage.

@ Mystic
LF/Kataeb have resisted 100 days in Ashrafieh outnumbered against the powerful syrian army of Hafez and Palestinians factions, and so on with Zahle as well. You needed 2 month to take Qusayr with all your "men" firepower from planes helicopters tanks mortars of the syrian army against bunches of bearded drugged mentally ill cowards like IS. pfff, funny mystic, go back to your hole and enjoy the consequences of the undirect alliance of your clan with the zionist ennemy

So where are all the Salafis with their "not a single bullet across the border"? While Nusra is getting their diapers changed by Netanyahu himself.
