The incident came few hours after the UNIFIL indicated that it was notified by the Israeli army that it has captured a Lebanese shepherd who had allegedly crossed the Blue Line in the vicinity of Aita al-Shaab in the South.

The UNIFIL also indicated that “the head of the UNIFIL mission and its General Commander Major General Michael Perry as well as the UNIFIL correlation team are in touch with the parties concerned in this regard focusing their efforts on securing the shepherd’s release.”

UN Security Council Resolution 1701 which brokered a ceasefire in the war of aggression Israel launched against Lebanon in 2006 calls on Israel to respect Lebanon’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.
