JERUSALEM —Israel and Lebanon’s Hezbollah militia exchanged deadly fire Wednesday across a border region monitored by U.N. peacekeepers, killing two Israeli soldiers and one member of the U.N. force in Lebanon.

The Lebanese Hezbollah group claimed responsibility for firing a missile that targeted an Israeli military convoy on Wednesday, an attack that prompted Israel to fire at least 50 artillery shells into Lebanon.
