Two Israeli soldiers were killed and seven wounded by an anti-tank missile attack near the Lebanon border Wednesday — an escalation in border violence that also left a U.N. peacekeeper dead. Live television pictures showed smoke rising from the area. Hezbollah claimed responsibility for the attack. In a statement, the militant Islamist group said its attack was carried out by a division calling itself the Heroic Martyrs of Quneitra — a reference to an Israeli airstrike on the Golan Heights on Jan. 18 that killed six Hezbollah fighters. Israel Defense Forces spokesman Peter Lerner said one of its vehicles was "attacked with anti-tank missiles on Mt. Dov, near Rajar" and that civilians were being evacuated from from Mt. Hermon "following mortar fire at military positions in the area." http://nbcnews.to/1BoAXpW http://bit.ly/1fJ5yqZ
