An Israeli unit approached on Tuesday the Lebanese-Israeli border near the town of al-Adeisseh, reported the National News Agency.

It said that the unit, comprised of two armored Hummers, approached a surveillance position adjacent to the town.

After 15 minutes, the commander of the unit arrived at the scene where he inspected a pit near the barbed wire fence at the border.

Last Thursday, tensions were high near the border at al-Adeisseh when Israeli troops attempted to cut down a tree situated on the Lebanese side of the border.

The tree had fallen on the border fence.

On December 15, an Israeli soldier was shot and killed by a Lebanese soldier, sparking tensions in the area and international condemnation.
