IDF again shelling Lebanon
The IDF again fires artillery shells into Lebanon, Ma’ariv reports quoting Lebanese media.
Some 20 shells were fired today at the Shebaa Farms, known in Israel as Har Dov.
An IDF official tells the Israeli news site that the goal of the artillery firing is to scare away goatherds from coming too close to the border.
But over the past few days officials said the military wants to prevent Hezbollah operatives from laying roadside bombs in the area, where Israeli army jeeps perform patrols.
