Earlier today, Lebanese Army forces opened fire on an Israeli patrol that was cutting down a tree that was obstructing the border fence. Israel has returned fire. Rumors are swirling that Hamas has fired rockets as well into Israel. Further updates should be found on Israellycool and The Muqata.
UPDATE:
Things are calmer today and neither side seems to have advanced into the next stage. Here is a detailed account of what happened. The root of this seems to have been a group of Lebanese soldiers loyal to Hezbollah. They learned about the Israeli plan to remove some brush from the fence (all in Israeli territory) from UNIFIL and initiated sniper fire. Israel responded, killing three Lebanese troops and a journolist on the payroll of Hezbollah, who was there to document the battle against the Israelis.
