There was tension on both sides of the Israeli-Lebanese border Tuesday. According to reports in Lebanese media, the Lebanese Army upped its state of alert after unusual Israeli tank movements were spotted.
Lebanese sources claimed that four Merkava tanks left their previous opositions and moved towards a new IDF outpost located near the border. At the same time, six IAF fighter jets flew overhead in the skies of South Lebanon.
The tanks reportedly took up observation positions on the Lebanese border near the village of Shuba, opposite Arkoub. Lebanese sources said that the position encroaches on Lebanese territory and that a complaint against Israel has been filed with the United States and United Nations Interim Forces in Lebanon (UNIFIL).
