Army finds bodies of 2 shepherds shot by Israeli troops near Wazani
Two Lebanese shepherds who were caught in crossfire during clashes on the Lebanon-Israel border were found dead Thursday, a spokesperson for the U.N. peacekeeping force on the border said.
The Lebanese army had called UNIFIL in to help evacuate the two men Wednesday evening after they were reported injured but had to call off the search “due to the darkness and presence of land mines in the area,” UNIFIL spokesperson Andrea Tenenti said. He said Thursday morning that the men’s bodies had been found.
A Lebanese security official said the shepherds died from gunshot wounds.
Lebanon’s state-run news agency said the shepherds were shot by Israeli troops as they passed with their herds by the Wazani river along the border.
The border has been the site of regular clashes between Israeli forces on one side and Hezbollah and Palestinian armed groups in Lebanon on the other.
The shepherds’ death raised the numbers of civilians killed on the Lebanese side of the border to six since the exchanges of fire started following the Oct. 7 attack by the Palestinian Hamas group on southern Israel.

Israel shoots anyone on sight. Women or children and a car full of Children in Gaza.
In Lebanon random shephards and journalists.

Not really, Hamas shoots men and women, children, babies, elderly people without any scruples. Over 800 of them in just one day.

Shooting down and murdering innocent shepherds only shows a tragic disregard for human life. When they called the residents of Gaza "animals," they were actually projecting their own inner turmoil and insecurities onto them, using dehumanization as a defense mechanism to distance themselves from their own inner beasts.
