DHAKA: The UN says a peacekeeper has been killed in Lebanon amid border clashes between Lebanese militant group Hezbollah and the Israeli army.

The UN urged ‘maximum restraint’ from all parties to avoid further escalation.

Four Israeli soldiers were injured when an anti-tank missile hit an army vehicle in the disputed Shebaa Farms area.

Military officials said, reports the BBC.

The Israeli army responded by firing shells into southern Lebanon.

The Israel Defence Forces said on Twitter that initial reports suggested that an anti-tank missile was fired at a military vehicle near Mt Dov.

Mt Dov is in the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights.
