Israeli Troops Comb Border Area along Lebanon
Israeli infantry unit and armored vehicles combed on Friday its northern border, carrying out thorough monitoring operations for the Lebanese side.
According to the state-run National News Agency, the armored vehicles and troops were accompanied by reconnaissance planes that flew over the occupied Shebaa farms and the Syrian Golan Heights.
The infantry unit began combing the western edge of Misgav Am through the occupied al-Ghajar village and the fence bordering the southern town of Abbassieh, all the way to the Shebaa farms.
The Lebanese side was closely monitored by binoculars.
On Thursday, an 20-member Israeli military unit advanced towards al-Wazzani river on the southern border raising alert among Lebanese troops and peacekeepers.
They were backed by a Merkava tank for monitoring.
