The man was killed in Israeli shelling into southern Lebanon prompted by a cross-border raid by the Palestinian Islamic Jihad group, which has been fighting alongside the Hamas group since it launched its surprise attack on Israel on Saturday. The Israeli army said soldiers backed by helicopters killed at least two gunmen who crossed the frontier. In a statement, the Israeli military said its soldiers "killed a number of armed suspects that infiltrated into Israeli territory from Lebanese territory".
