Israel probes if Israeli soldier is responsible for death of citizen at Lebanese border

Israel's military said it was investigating whether its own fire killed an Israeli civilian near the Lebanese border on Sunday, after Hezbollah claimed an attack in the same area. 

Earlier Sunday, Lebanese emergency workers said that a man was killed in a "direct hit" on his car by a rocket from Lebanon.

After the incident, Hezbollah claimed a series of missile attacks targeting Israeli soldiers near the Lebanese-Israeli border.

But the Israeli army later announced it was "conducting a comprehensive investigation" into the death. 

"The possibility that the incident involved fire originating from IDF soldiers is being examined," the military said in a statement.
