00:00 There has been a marked increase in tension and violence on Israel's northern border with
00:06 Lebanon. Israel fired shells over the border into Lebanon after its own positions came
00:11 under fire. The Israeli army also says it's killed several people trying to sneak into
00:17 the country. It blames the Lebanese government for every attack launched from its territory
00:23 into Israel.
00:24 "The IDF has a very strong force in the north. Anyone who comes to the border, to enter Israel's
00:31 territory, will die. Every incident is the full responsibility of the state of Lebanon
00:36 and it will bear the consequences."
