The Israeli army carried out maneuvers on Tuesday with live fire in southern Shebaa Farms, which has been occupied by Israel since 1967.
Lebanese security sources told Xinhua that during the maneuvers all kinds of machine guns and artillery shells were used, with an intensified flyover by unmanned aerial vehicles.
Sounds of explosions were heard in the area.
The Shebaa Farms was occupied by Israel in a war in 1967. Lebanon claims, with the backing of Syria, the ownership of the area, and does not recognize the Blue Line, a virtual line the United Nations drew in 2000 after the Israeli withdrawal from some southern Lebanese towns. |
