Situation on Lebanon-Israel border ‘extremely sensitive’: UNIFIL
BEIRUT, Lebanon (AA): The United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) has warned that the situation across the Blue Line between Lebanon and Israel is “extremely sensitive.”
On Wednesday, three members of Hezbollah group were injured by Israeli fire near the border village of Al-Bustan, according to Lebanese media.
“We are aware of disturbing reports about an incident along the Blue Line,” UNIFIL spokesperson Kandice Ardiel said in a statement.
“We are looking into it. In the meantime, the situation is extremely sensitive,” she added, urging all parties “to cease any actions that may lead to escalation.”
The Israeli army said Wednesday that “a number of suspects” approached the northern security fence with Lebanon and “attempted to sabotage the security fence in the area.”
A military statement said that Israeli soldiers “used means to distance them.”
The army released a video showing four people approaching the fence before an apparent blast caused them to run away.
