According to Lebanese reports, the bulldozer cleared land cleared by Israeli bulldozers in the area of the Shebaa Farms two days ago, apparently as part of work on a border barrier.
Subsequently, it was reported that the Lebanese soldiers responded by firing smoke bombs at IDF forces and UNIFIL personnel arrived to calm the situation.
