Hizbullah guerrillas have captured two "Israeli" soldiers in attacks from Lebanon on "Israeli" border posts.
Al Manar, the Hizbullah television, said Islamic Resistance, the military arm of the group, announced the capture in a statement.
The "Israeli" army confirmed that the pair had gone missing, saying there was a "strong possibility" that Hizbullah had abducted them.
Lebanese security sources said "Israeli" aircraft retaliated by bombing a main bridge in southern Lebanon.
Hizbullah earlier fired dozens of Katyusha rockets and mortar bombs at "Israeli" border posts and a settlement, wounding four "Israeli" settlers, according to "Israeli" and Lebanese security sources.
"Israeli" gunners fired salvoes of artillery shells into the outskirts of four Lebanese border villages while "Israeli" soldiers exchanged gunfire with guerrillas in the area.
The fighting apparently began when at least two rockets fired from south Lebanon exploded near Shlomi, an "Israeli" frontier settlement about 15km east of the Mediterranean coast.
Hizbullah guerrillas also attacked "Israeli" posts in the "Israeli"-occupied Shibaa Farms area to the east, the Lebanese security sources said.
The Hizbullah attack coincided with a major "Israeli" military incursion in the Gaza Strip, ordered partly in retaliation for the abduction by Palestinian fighters earlier this month of an "Israeli" soldier from a border post.
