Israel Says It Thwarted Hezbollah Attack on Lebanese Borderhttps://pjmedia.com/news-and-politics/rick-moran/2020/07/28/israel-says-it-thwarted-hezbollah-attack-on-lebanese-border-n720494The Israeli government announced it traded fire with Hezbollah terrorists at the Lebanese border yesterday and says that its forces are engaged in “ongoing combat†with the terrorists.
Hassan Nasrallah, Hezbollah’s spiritual leader and military commander, has vowed to avenge the death of a Hezbollah fighter who was killed in an Israeli airstrike in Syria last month. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu placed the nation’s military on high alert just last weekend.
The terrorists are denying any border incursion into Israel.

But numerous reports from Israeli civilians and sources in Lebanon confirm the clash took place.

The IDF must have bloodied Hezbollah’s nose in that clash. And Netanyahu made it clear that Hezbollah will not take Israel by surprise.
This sounds like it was a skirmish, possibly with a Hezbollah group that went against (or was not aware of) the top leaders' orders. Or maybe it was a sanctioned probing attack to check out Israel's alertness.
