Israeli Troops Nab 50 Goats after Failing to Abduct Shepherd near Shebaa
An Israeli patrol on Thursday tried to kidnap 23-year-old Lebanese shepherd Maher Fares Hamdan from the al-Shahel area in the outskirts of the southern border town of Shebaa, Lebanon's National News Agency reported.
The shepherd managed to escape but Israeli troops seized around 50 goats and took them into occupied territory, NNA said.
“The patrol violated the line of withdrawal by around 30 meters” during the operation, the agency added.
Israel released the herd of goats in the evening, NNA said.
