The Shiite village of Shehur, about 18 kilometers east of Tyre, was searched by the Israel Defense Force today for terrorists and weapons.
According to sources of the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL), 150 of the village’s male population were ordered to assemble on the soccer field for interrogation. At the same time, soldiers searched their homes where their wives and children were confined, the UNIFIL sources said. The operation was observed by the Finnish contingent of UNIFIL.
The IDF reported meanwhile four attempted attacks on army posts and units in south Lebanon last night and this morning. There were no casualties.
