(CNN) Israeli forces said they exchanged fire with Hezbollah along the Israel-Lebanon border on Monday after the Iran-backed group staged an attack in a disputed region. The group said a civilian home was hit by Israeli airstrikes in the Lebanese town of al-Habaria. Rather, it was only one party, which was the fearful, anxious and tense enemy," Hezbollah said in a statement. Israel Defense Forces (IDF) spokesman Lt. Col. Jonathan Conricus said on a conference call with reporters: "We spotted them as they moved close to the Blue Line, monitored them and tracked them. Shortly after they crossed the Blue Line, we engaged and were able to thwart the attack.
