Israel Stages Live Ammo Drill in Shebaa Farms
The Israeli army carried out a live ammunition maneuver early Sunday in the Shebaa farms, the National News Agency said.
At around 7:00 am, Israeli troops kicked off simulated military operations in the southern side of the Shebaa farms close to the border line using live ammunition.
The sounds of artillery shells could be heard up to the villages of al-Arqoub that are adjacent to the border line, NNA added.
Lebanon regularly files U.N. complaints over Israel's near-daily land, air, and sea violations of Lebanese sovereignty.
Israel occupied much of southern Lebanon for 22 years between 1978 and 2000 and its invading army reached the capital Beirut in 1982. It fought a devastating 2006 war with Hizbullah in which more than 1,200 people, mostly civilians, were killed in Lebanon.
