An Israeli infantry patrol crossed into the eastern bank of south Lebanon's Wazzani River on Wednesday and launched a search campaign for about two hours, local reporters said.
A reporter told Naharnet the Israeli patrol also used trained dogs in the search operation, but did not cross the Blue Line into Lebanese territory. "They were within 100 meters maximum from river bank restaurants. I have them on Video. The soldiers pointed rifles at me and at restaurant employees as the search operation was underway," added the reporter in a telephone dispatch from Wazzani, which is a U.N.-Policed area in the eastern sector of south Lebanon. The Israeli infantry patrol carried out the search as two Israeli tanks observed the terrain from a distance, the reporter added. No acts of violence were reported, he said. |
