The Israeli military said two soldiers were killed in a Hezbollah strike on an Army convoy near the Lebanese border.
The military said another seven soldiers were wounded in Wednesday’s attack.
Israel’s military responded to the anti-tank missile strike on the convoy with aerial and ground attacks on Hezbollah positions in Lebanon.
A Spanish U.N. peacekeeper was also killed in the clash.
In a statement, Hezbollah said its fighters destroyed a number of Israeli vehicles that were carrying Israeli officers and soldiers and caused casualties among “enemy ranks.”
It said the attack was carried out by a group calling itself the “heroic martyrs of Quneitra,” suggesting it was retaliation for an Israeli airstrike on the Golan Heights on January 18 that killed six Hezbollah fighters and an Iranian general.
