Calm Prevails on Lebanon-Israel Border Day After Brief Clash

Associated Press

   MAROUN EL-RAS, LEBANON - The Lebanon-Israel border was mostly calm with
   U.N. peacekeepers patrolling the border Monday, a day after the
   Lebanese militant Hezbollah group fired a barrage of anti-tank missiles
   into Israel in response to earlier attacks, triggering Israeli
   artillery fire.

   The missile attack into Israel on Sunday did not inflict any casualties
   on the Israeli side. It came after Hezbollah vowed to retaliate for an
   Israeli airstrike that killed two Hezbollah operatives in Syria and an
   Israeli drone strike on the group's stronghold south of Beirut in late
   August.
