The Lebanese news agency NNA reported Thursday night that Israel was increasing its presence on the Lebanese border near Har Dov on the northern side of Mt. Hermon. It is not known if the activity is associated with Israel's transfer of control of the border village of Ghajar to the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon or deterrence against a concrete attack threat, according to News One, which says the report has not been confirmed by any other source.

According to the report, tanks, armed personnel carriers and heavy equipment were involved. NNA said Israel has been carrying out reconnaissance flights since early Thursday morning and sporadic gunfire was reported from the Israeli side of the border.
