Israeli Troops Advance Towards Wazzani
An Israeli military unit advanced on Thursday towards al-Wazzani river on the southern border raising alert among Lebanese troops and peacekeepers, the state-run National News Agency reported.
NNA said the 20-member unit was backed by a Merkava tank for monitoring.
The troops walked along the banks of the river, the agency said.
The Lebanese army and members of the United Nations Interim force in Lebanon kept a close watch.
Meanwhile, NNA said an Israeli drone flew over the occupied Shebaa Farms zone and Mount Hermon Heights amid the movement of Israeli foot patrols in the areas of Wadi al-Asal and al-Abbasiyeh.
