The shells were discovered in a black bag along the side of a road in the area, according to the report on Lebanese television.

Local Lebanese news station al-Mayadeen reported that the shells had Hebrew writing on them.

The Lebanese army ordered the area blocked off until further investigation.

In July, Lebanese authorities said they found an Israeli spying device near the town, which they then blew up.
