Hizbullah Operatives, Lebanese Soldiers Crossed into Israel
(JNS/Charlotte Observer) Hizbullah operatives and dozens of armed Lebanese army soldiers briefly entered Israeli territory last week, according to Israel's Army Radio. The July 5 incident occurred in the area of Menara, a kibbutz adjacent to the Lebanese border in the Upper Galilee region, while the IDF was carrying out work on the border area. According to the report, the Hizbullah operatives and uniformed Lebanese soldiers stayed on the Israeli side of the border for about 20 minutes. During this time, the IDF did not use dispersal methods, taking a cautious approach and attempting to resolve the issue via liaison channels with the United Nations peacekeeping force in southern Lebanon (UNIFIL).
