Lebanese Arrested in Kiryat Shmona after Infiltrating Israel
Israeli forces arrested a Lebanese man in the northern Israeli community of Kiryat Shmona after he crossed the Lebanese-Israeli border, Lebanon's National News Agency reported.
“Israel's border battalion in Metula went on alert after it failed to detect the crossing of the man, who entered from the Lebanese town of Kfarkila,” NNA said.
The Lebanese army and security forces and U.N. peacekeepers meanwhile went on alert on the Lebanese side of the border, the agency added.
Al-Jadeed television said the Israeli army was staging patrols along the border in the area.
Israeli news website Ynet said the Lebanese man “was caught in the central bus station in Kiryat Shmona, which is about 10 kilometers from the border.”
Israeli residents who saw the man called the police and he was taken to a security station for questioning, Ynet added.
