Israel accused on Saturday the Lebanese Hezbollah party of multiple attempts to breach the border Friday night.
It said it will file a complaint to the United Nations Security Council over its “provocative” activity along the Lebanese-Israeli frontier.
Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz said Israel “thoroughly condemns” the incident and expects the Lebanese government to prevent such threats.
On Friday night, the Israeli military fired flares along the volatile frontier after signs of a possible border breach. It said it later found damage to the separation fence in three locations.
Israel and Hezbollah fought a month-long war in 2006 that ended in a stalemate. Under a UN-brokered truce, Hezbollah is barred from conducting military activity along the frontier.
There was no immediate comment from the Iranian-backed party.
