Breaking news: Fights in Southern Lebanon
Today and since some hours ago, fights broke up between Israel and Hizballa,.
According to Reuters, it was HA who started it.
BBC also had this to say
BEIRUT, Nov 21 (Reuters) - Lebanon's Hizbollah guerrillas attacked Israeli military positions in an occupied border territory on Monday, triggering fierce artillery and rocket duels, witnesses said.
There was no immediate word on casualties in the attack in the Shebaa Farms area, the scene of sporadic fighting between Hizbollah and the Israeli army since Israel pulled its forces from south Lebanon in 2000.
Israeli forces retaliated by bombing several areas on the Lebanese side of the border while the guerrillas fired salvoes of mortars and rockets.
Witnesses said they counted more than 100 explosions in the area.
Hizbollah killed an Israeli solider and wounded five others when it struck Israeli army positions in the area in June 29. One guerrilla also died in the fighting.
It was the deadliest attack since January when an Israeli officer, a French observer and a Hizbollah fighter were killed in clashes.
IMO the timing of this escalation has to do with MP Sanyora's latest statement that he will use the question risin by HA MP Raad as a gateway to initiate the dialouge.
Them finding out Sanyora's move, they escalated the situation on purpose to pressure him in the parliment.

I think Hizbollah wanted to capture few israeli soldiers; had it worked out as they planned, it would have been a "hit" on the "Independence" night. But things didn't go as planned (Refer to Murphy's Law).
