Suspected Hezbollah militants on 27 October fired numerous rockets and artillery rounds at two Israeli Defence Force (IDF) positions in the Har Dov area, which is in the disputed Shebaa farms region near the border between Lebanon and Israel. The militants also fired an anti-tank missile at an IDF post in the area, the first attack of its type since April 2002, reported local daily Haaretz. Israel responded by launching two air raids against the assailants.
