BEIRUT (AP) — Lebanon’s Hezbollah militant group fired dozens of rockets and shells on Sunday at three Israeli positions in a disputed area along the country’s border with Syria’s Israeli-occupied Golan Heights.
Hezbollah said in a statement that the attack using “large numbers of rockets and shells” was in solidarity with the “Palestinian resistance.” It said the Israeli positions were directly hit.
Israel’s military fired back at the Lebanese areas, but there was no immediate word on casualties.
The Israeli army said it shelled the areas where the fire came from on the Lebanese side of the border.
Chebaa Farms was captured by Israel from Syria during the 1967 Mideast war, but Lebanon considers it and the nearby Kfar Chouba hills as Lebanese territories.
The Golan Heights were annexed by Israel in 1981.

This horrible situation will forever continue to rear it's ugly head until the west are willing to back a two state solution.
The west has been supporting a two state solution since at least 1993.
Technically the west has supported a two state solution since 1937.
I don't think western influence will be enough, this will keep going so long as both sides are chasing revenge. Israel escalated by attacking Palestinians in a mosque on a holy day, Palestine escalated by attacking a synagogue on a holy day but more intensely, Israel will then escalate by invading.
The USA alone provides Israel with $3.8bn of military aid per year. Western influence might not be all that is needed, but I can't see how it wouldn't have a substantial effect.
We were able to recognise that Nelson Mandela wasn't only not a terrorist, but a hero. Now it's time for us to take an intellectually honest look at what the government of Israel's policies are doing to the Palestinian people.
The west should not only stop direct support of Israel, but cut all ties.
It’s literally only Palestine that doesn’t back a two state solution.
Israel accepted the two state solution originally that gave Palestine all the territory they currently claim, and made Jerusalem an internationally controlled territory not owned by either state.
Palestine rejected it and started murdering civilians.
