United Nations peacekeeping force UNIFIL called for “maximum restraint” after clashes on Monday on the border between Lebanon and Israel, adding the firing had stopped.
An AFP correspondent reported Israeli artillery bombardment on the hills of Kfarchouba in the Shebaa Farms area near the Israeli position of Roueysaat Al Alam, and reported plumes of smoke rising above the area.
Lebanon and Israel are still technically at war and UNIFIL usually patrols the border between the two.
“Major General [Stefano] Del Col has been in contact with both parties to assess the situation and decrease tension while urging maximum restraint,” UNIFIL spokesman Andrea Tenenti said.
