The Israel Defense Forces says a man crossed from Israel into Lebanon last night, before being arrested when he returned.

The man stayed in Lebanese territory for an hour before coming back to the border fence area, where he was detained by IDF troops, the military says.

He has been taken to the police for further questioning.

It is not immediately clear what the man was doing in Lebanon, and the incident is under investigation.
