"Shepherd Asaad Fares Hamdan was herding his flock in the outskirts of Shebaa when an Israeli force opened fire towards him,” the state-run National News Agency reported, noting that the incident took place in the Berkat al-Naqar area of the South.

The Israeli bullets hit and killed two goats, the NNA said, while Hamdan managed to escape unharmed.

Army soldiers immediately deployed in the region after the incident, as UNIFIL troops patrolled in the South.

An Israeli force, meanwhile, positioned near Berkat al-Naqar area, according to the same source.

They are usually interrogated before their eventual release.
