Army reports gunshots heard along Lebanon border

Gunshots have been heard along the Israeli-Lebanese border, the army says.

No injuries or damage are reported.

The shots were heard from a site near the Israeli community of Metula, where the Defense Ministry is building a new concrete border wall.

The UNIFIL peacekeeping force, which operates in southern Lebanon, says it is unaware of the incident.

“At the moment the situation is calm and we haven’t witnessed any incidents or heard shots along the Blue Line. We will keep on checking,” a UNIFIL spokesperson says, referring to the internationally recognized line separating Israel from Lebanon.
