Hezbollah carried out an attack on Monday against Israeli targets on Lebanon's southern border. Earlier, Israel had announced that a security incident had taken place on the border, without further details. "A little while ago, there were reports of a security incident in the area of Jabal Ros," Avichai Adraee, a spokesman for the Israeli army, said in a statement. In a speech to lawmakers, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said, "We are constantly following what is happening on our northern borders. Our policy is clear: We will not allow Iran to gain a military position on our borders with Syria." In the past few days, the Israeli army announced it would deploy military reinforcements to its border with Lebanon.
