[Ma'an] Approximately ten explosive devices were found on Lebanon's southern border last week, Israeli media reported Thursday. Reports suggested that the bombs were designed to target Israeli forces entering Lebanon, and said sources in Israel "believed the devices were placed at the site by Hizbullah."
Israel's daily newspaper Haaretz, said the devices were planted several kilometers north of the Israeli town of Metula, near the Lebanese town of Al-Khiam. It also quoted source saying the devices were either Syrian or Iranian made.
The explosives were found by the UN team responsible for peace keeping in southern Lebanon, UNIFIL.
The discovery of the weapons follows intermittent attacks by Lebanese militias in the south, which Israeli forces have retaliated against with equal or greater force.
