Four IDF soldiers sustained light to moderate injuries near
the Lebanese border as a result of an explosion on Wednesday.
The soldiers were
taken to a hospital in Nahariya. Three are undergoing surgery and one is in the
intensive care unit.
The border area has largely been calm since the end of the
Second Lebanon War seven years ago.
Hezbollah's Al-Manar TV reported that the explosion was on
the Lebanese side, six meters from the border.
A security source said traces of
blood were found near a hole in the road adjacent to the al-Labouna area.
However, a Lebanese security source told local radio that
the blast occurred when an IDF patrol infiltrated 150 meters deep into Lebanon.
The IDF's Spokesperson's Unit said in response, "The
IDF is investigating the event and monitoring developments. We shall continue
to secure the northern border." No other details were available.
Israeli troops deployed along the northern border have been
on heightened alert since Syria's civil war began to spillover into Israel and
Hezbollah became involved in the fighting.
