Israeli forces fired eight flares Tuesday evening from their posts in the occupied Shebaa Farms towards the nearby Mount Hermon, Lebanon's National News Agency reported.

The flares were fired above the al-Marsad post and Mt. Hermon's western heights, NNA said.

Earlier, “three unidentified explosions” were heard at the western edge of an Israeli post on Mt. Hermon, east of the Lebanese border town of Shebaa, the agency added.

An Israeli army patrol had earlier on Tuesday crossed the technical fence near the so-called Wazzani Fort in southern Lebanon and stayed in the area for three hours, NNA reported.

The eight-member patrol, which was backed by a Humvee, reached the banks of Wazzani river and monitored the area for three hours around 5:00 am, NNA said.

The Wazzani Fort is a rest and recreation resort that is literally a stone’s throw from Israel.

The Israeli unit did not cross the Blue Line, the ceasefire line drawn by the U.N. after Israel's withdrawal from southern Lebanon in 2000 following 22 years of occupation.
