Report: Foreign countries push for land border demarcation with Israel

Hezbollah has learned about a "suspicious diplomatic" drive aiming to demarcate land borders between Lebanon and Israel, ad-Diyar newspaper reported Friday.

The land demarcation has been discussed with Lebanese officials in foreign capitals during several meetings, the daily claimed.

The report comes a day after the Israeli army struck southern Lebanon, claiming that an anti-tank missile, that exploded in the border area between the two foes, was launched from Lebanon.

It also comes at a time of rising tension between Israel and Hezbollah over two tents erected by Hezbollah in a disputed territory and Israel’s building of a wall around the Lebanese part of Ghajar, a village that Israeli troops captured during the 2006 Israel-Hezbollah war.
