Report: IDF 'infiltrated' Ghajar
Lebanese news portal Naharnet is reporting that the IDF has 'infiltrated' the town of Ghajar, which is currently divided between Israel and Lebanon. An Israeli army unit infiltrated the Lebanese section of the southern village of Ghajar on Friday, accompanied by over flights by its surveillance planes, reported the National News Agency.There's just one small problem with this report: There currently is no Lebanese side of Ghajar. Israel retook the Lebanese side of the village during the 2006 Second Lebanon War, and has remained there ever since. In fact, the locals don't want Israel to leave. But why let facts get in the way of the 'news'?
The army unit, comprised of foot soldiers and armored vehicles, conducted surveillance operations in the village for about an hour and they also inspected the electronic fence near the area.
The incursion was accompanied by activity from three Merkava tanks along the Israeli side of the Lebanese-Israeli border near the villages of al-Samaqa and Roueis.
Meanwhile, the Israeli fighter jets flew, at medium altitude, over the regions of al-Arqoub, Hasbayya, the western Bekaa, and Iqlim al-Tuffah.
Israeli drones also flew over the occupied Shebaa Farms and nearby areas for over an hour.
