Tear gas on Israeli soldiers in response to the attack in the Bastra area
Tear gas fired at Israeli soldiers, the Lebanese army announced, in response to the latter’s smoke-canister attack in southern Lebanon’s Bastra region.
The Lebanese Armed Forces said in a statement that the Israelis “breached the withdrawal line and fired smoke bombs at a patrol that was accompanying a bulldozer leveling the embankment” that Israel had built to the north of that line, in Bastra.

The patrol “responded to the attack by firing tear gas” and “forcing (the Israelis) to retreat into the occupied Palestinian territories.”
Andrea Tenendy, a spokesman for UNIFIL, the UN peacekeeping force in the region, said: “There were tensions today. UNIFIL is in contact with the sides to reduce tension and prevent misunderstandings. We are currently on the ground, monitoring the situation and trying to restore calm.”
