Hezbollah's Border Fence Attack Thwarted by IDF

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) foiled an attempt by Hezbollah activists to damage the Lebanon-Israel border fence. The incident occurred on the 17th anniversary of the 2006 Second Lebanon War. The IDF used a non-lethal explosive charge to deter the suspects, who were identified as Hezbollah members. Later, warning shots were fired at a group of Hezbollah activists who launched fireworks and set fires near the Israeli town of Metula. Tensions have been rising along the border due to Hezbollah's recent provocations, including the discovery of armed Hezbollah tents on Israeli territory and the firing of an anti-tank missile from Lebanon.
