Lebanon: Wounded Soldiers had Penetrated Border - Defense/Security - News - Israel National News

Four IDF soldiers suffered light to moderate injuries Tuesday night, when an explosion occurred near the northern border, the IDF Spokesman's Unit said Wednesday morning.

The four soldiers wounded were located 400 meters inside Lebanese territory when the blast occurred, Lebanon's army said on Wednesday.

"An infantry patrol of the Israeli enemy penetrated 400 meters inside Lebanon in the Labouneh area at 00:24 local time,” the army said in a statement.

"An explosion took place and the soldiers were wounded, with blood found at the scene. A military committee has opened an investigation in coordination with UNIFIL, " the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon, it said.

The IDF Spokesman's Unit said that the explosion took place “in the course of activity that took place tonight on the northern border.” The soldiers were taken to hospital for treatment.

"The IDF is inquiring into the event, it is following developments, and it will continue to act in order to maintain security along the northern border,” the Spokesman's Unit added.

It was not clear from the statement whether the explosion took place along the border with Lebanon or along the border with Syria.

.................

Lebanon is saying these soldiers crossed into their territory but I highly doubt the Lebanese army is behind this. Maybe Hezbollah or Palestinian militants.

Well, that tells us, maybe you shouldn't cross into someone's territory or it would be considered a hostile act. Just as israel considers any actions into their territory hostile. :rolleyes:

As usual the IDF spokesman avoids stating on which side if the northern border were their troops conducting 'routine activity'. In a while the UNTSO will reveal the findings but there's a problem since 2006 the patrol bases for the UNTSO were destroyed partly or entirely on July 25th when israel fired shells for over 6 hours straight and fired a guided JDAM at four unarmed peacekeepers, one a Chinese major, Canadian, Australian and a Finnish captain. So the UN decide to move them from the immediate vicinity which israel accuses them of giving access to Hezbollah's hands but don't consider why they moved and israel doesn't hold it self responsible for these actions and this also tells why these troops are hundreds meters into the other side. Trying to provoke an incident?

Hezbollah must have been behind this. Anyway, it's their fault and they have to accept the consequences.

It must have been secret operation, the Israeli side has not fired one single bullet, while they did it in similar past occasions.

What consequences? It's their side of the border and I'm wondering if Israelis stepped on their own mine. LOL.

I'm pretty sure they were to trying to place surveillance or spying devices like they usually do on Lebanon's side of the border. It must have failed when someone noticed it.

I wasn't talking about Hezbollah, it is the Israelis who should put up with the consequences :D :lol:
