Israeli soldiers opened fire on a “band of terrorists” trying to enter Israel’s security zone in southern Lebanon, killing four and capturing weapons, including Soviet-made AK-47 automatic rifles, and explosives, military sources said in Tel Aviv. The incident took place west of Braachit, on the edge of the Israeli-controlled buffer zone and six miles north of the Israeli border.
