Israeli Soldiers Cross Barbed Wire

An Israeli army unit crossed the barbed wire along the border with southern Lebanon on Wednesday, combing the area and firing smoke grenades, the state-run National News Agency reported.

NNA said the 12-member unit entered around 50 meters near the border town of Mais al-Jabal.

But the soldiers did not cross the U.N.-drawn Blue Line, it said.

Its move heightened the alert among Lebanese soldiers and the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon, the agency added.
