BEIRUT, Nov 28 —An Israeli shell hit near the southern Lebanese town of Aita al-Shaab this morning, according to Lebanon’s state news agency, hours after a truce between Israel and Hamas was extended.

The truce did not formally include Lebanon, but weeks of cross-border shelling between Israel and Lebanese armed group Hezbollah, a Hamas ally, had come to a halt when the truce first came into force last Friday. — Reuters
