A number of Lebanese citizens wave flags of the Hezbollah terror group on Israel’s border, footage shows.
In videos and pictures shared by a Hezbollah-affiliated reporter, several young Lebanese men are seen crossing a barrier reportedly set by a United Nations peacekeeping force near the contested village of Ghajar, which straddles the Israel-Lebanon border.
The suspects did not cross Israel’s border fence or enter sovereign Israeli territory.

According to Ali Shoeib, the Hezbollah-linked correspondent, the UN fence had prevented Lebanese residents from entering a road near Ghajar since 2006, when Israel gained control of the entire village following a month-long war with Hezbollah.
The incident appears to be the latest in a series of escalating confrontations along the northern border, most of them instigated by Hezbollah, that have raised tensions in recent months.
