Israeli Commandos Cross Blue Line, Kidnap Syrian Shepherd
Israeli commando troops on Tuesday crossed the border of the occupied Shebaa Farms and abducted a Syrian shepherd, the state-run National News Agency reported.
"Syrian refugee Mohammed al-Badawi was kidnapped after the commandos crossed the Blue Line between the Golan Heights and the Shebaa Farms and advanced 100 meters into Lebanon,” the NNA detailed.
"The 30 years old Syrian hails from the Beit Jen town in Damascus' countryside and was grazing his flock at the time of the abduction.”
The latest Israeli violation of the border took place last Wednesday when four Israeli soldiers were injured in a landmine blast along the northern border with Lebanon.
The patrol of the Israeli army penetrated 400 meters inside Lebanon in the Labbouneh area at 00:24 local time, a statement released by the Lebanese Armed Forces said.
Meanwhile on July 8, a 15-member Israeli commando force crossed the border of the occupied Shebaa Farms and abducted Lebanese shepherd Youssef Hussein Rhayyel.
Rhayyel was freed later that night, several media outlets reported.
