The Israeli army arrested a Lebanese national on Wednesday evening for illegally crossing the border between Palestinian territories occupied in 1948 and Lebanon.
“The army arrested the suspect for infiltrating Israel from Lebanon” Israeli army spokesman Avichai Adraee said in a statement quoted by Anadolu News Agency.
The Lebanese citizen whose name was not given was arrested as he attempted to creep into Israeli-occupied territories.
The Lebanese national’s reason for crossing the border remains unclear.
In recent months the Israeli army has waged a wide-ranging campaign along the Lebanese border with aim of uncovering alleged tunnels believed to have been dug by Lebanon’s Hezbollah group.
