Tensions in the north again on the issue • Lebanese army forces pointed weapons at an IDF tank, insisting it was not an unusual incident
On Tuesday, an incident was reported on the Israeli-Lebanese border during which Lebanese military forces targeted weapons on IDF forces.
For the IDF, this is a routine enclave activity in the area, and every such activity comes from Lebanese army soldiers. And there are mutual weapon directions. Recently there has been more activity because there are more touches on the border, but the IDF insists it is not an exceptional matter.

In recent weeks there has been an increase in the number of fence incidents on the Lebanese border. These are, among other things, migrant workers but also unsuspecting Hezbollah shepherds. In light of this, the IDF also increased its activity in the border area, including enclaves, which are Israeli territories on the Lebanese side of the perimeter fence.
IDF Spokesman in Arabic, Lieutenant Colonel Avihay Edrei: "As part of strengthening Israeli activity on the Lebanese border, military force carried out routine activity in the border area under Israeli sovereignty. To prevent infiltration attempts. "
Recall, about two weeks ago, a suspect was identified crossing the border in the direction of Israel. The IDF spokesman said that the person identified by IDF forces during a routine ambush on Mount Dov was wounded by gunfire, and was evacuated by helicopter to the Rambam Hospital in Haifa.
