Israel said it had killed Muhammad Abdullah, the head of the Islamic Jihad's network in the Palestinian refugee camp of Nur Shams in the West Bank.

The Palestinian health ministry said on Friday that two people were killed in an Israeli strike on Nur Shams.

Abdullah, who Israel said had been involved in a number of attacks against its soldiers, was killed along with another "terrorist" in a strike near Tulkarm, the military and security agency said in a statement on Friday.

Two Lebanese soldiers were killed and three others wounded in an Israeli airstrike that hit a building near a Lebanese Army checkpoint in Kafra, Bint Jbeil province, the Lebanese Army said Friday.

Since Israel launched its ground invasion of Lebanon, Israeli forces and Hezbollah fighters have clashed along the border while the Lebanese army has largely stood on the sidelines.

As Israeli troops made their first forays across the border and Hezbollah responded with rocket fire, Lebanese soldiers withdrew from observation posts along the frontier and repositioned about 5 km back.

On Oct. 3, a Lebanese soldier was killed and another injured in an Israeli strike in Taybeh during rescue operations. On Sept. 30, another Lebanese soldier was killed by an Israeli drone targeting a Lebanese Army checkpoint in Wazzani.
