(Ynet News) The IDF said Saturday it foiled an attempted infiltration across the border from Lebanon into northern Israel on Friday. A number of Lebanese were spotted digging in the ground, cutting the border fence with Israel, and entering Israeli territory late Friday night. IDF troops fired shots near the group, who escaped back into Lebanese territory. In a search of the area, soldiers found explosive devices. The infiltration attempt came hours after dozens of Lebanese demonstrated along the border, setting fire to the Israeli border fence near Metula. Some of them cut the fence, broke into the Israeli side and lit a fire, prompting IDF tanks to fire several warning shots. One man described as a member of Hizbullah was killed.
