The border area between Lebanon and occupied Palestine witnessed a state of alert by the Lebanese army after an Israeli occupation bulldozer breached the so-called "Blue Line".

The Lebanese army forced the Israeli occupation military to stop excavation work in the Karkazan area on the Lebanese-Palestinian border on the outskirts of the village of Meiss El Jabal, after an Israeli bulldozer, protected by several occupation soldiers, attempted to bulldoze outside the "Blue Line".

It is noteworthy that last month, Lebanese youths from the village of Kfar Chouba in southern Lebanon removed barbed wires placed by Israeli occupation forces and filled in a tunnel they had dug in the area.
