Israel Digs Extra Tank Foxholes Along S. Lebanon
Engineering corps units are buttressing the forward lines of the Israeli army along south Lebanon's borders, sparking a state of alert by Hizbullah fighters coupled with air and ground patrols by the U.N. peacekeeping force known as UNIFIL, the Beirut media reported Tuesday.
The Israelis were seen conducting maintenance all along the barb-wired fence spanning the common border as bulldozers were digging extra tank foxholes, provoking Hizbullah into placing its fighters on alert, according to media reports.
UNIFIL scrambled helicopters for air surveillance of the Israeli military movements and Hizbullah's response as mechanized patrols toured the U.N.-carved Blue Line on the ground, An Nahar said. It carried a picture of two UNIFIL peacekeepers watching developments by binoculars.
