Israeli warplanes attacked the outskirts of a south Lebanese village after Hizbollah gunners fired anti-aircraft rounds at Israeli jets in Lebanese airspace.
"Israeli planes attacked the western part of Lebanon from which a cannon belonging to Hizbollah fired shells which hit the village of Shumra in western Galilee," Israeli army spokesperson Sharon Feingold said. "The planes destroyed the cannons."
The planes struck the outskirts of Telal al-Bayad, just north of the Lebanese border town of Naqoura, Lebanese security sources said. There were no immediate reports of injuries.
Shi'ite Muslim Hizbollah had no immediate comment.
The strike, the second in less than a month, came hours after Hizbollah fighters, who are backed by Syria and Iran, fired anti-aircraft rounds at Israeli jets flying in Lebanese skies.
On August 10th, Israeli troops and jets blasted the outskirts of Lebanese villages after a Hizbollah anti-aircraft shell killed an Israeli teenager in northern Israel.
The death was the first since the Jewish state withdrew its troops from southern Lebanon in May 2000 after a 22-year occupation under pressure from Hizbollah guerrillas.
Since the withdrawal, Israeli planes have regularly flown into Lebanese skies, drawing Hizbollah barrages.
The United Nations, which has repeatedly warned that Israeli overflights could escalate into a more serious conflict, views both the flights and Hizbollah's reaction as violations of the terms of Israel's pullout.
