STORYLINE
An Israeli soldier was killed and four others wounded in a battle with Hezbollah guerrillas in south Lebanon, the Israeli military said early on Thursday.
The battle was in Ayt a-Shab, just across the Israeli border, the military said.
Army Radio said the battle was still in progress early on Thursday.
AP Television News filmed Israeli military activity in the area, with troops returning from their positions in Lebanon.
Plumes of smoke could also be seen rising from the Ayt a-Shab area.
Israeli ground forces moved into the Hezbollah-controlled village on Tuesday, and there have been fierce exchanges between the two sides.
The dead Israeli soldier was identified as 18-year-old Adi Cohen from the central Israeli city of Hadera.
Since Israel began its offensive in Lebanon on July 12, 37 soldiers have been killed, and 19 civilians have died in Hezbollah rocket attacks on Israeli cities, towns and villages.
