BEIRUT: Israeli forces fired Monday several flares south Lebanon as Israeli jets were seen violating Lebanese airspace, a security source said.
According to the source, several flares were launched towards the border town of Naqoura. Israeli aircraft were seen violating Lebanese airspace at low altitudes.
Israeli forces have been on high alert after launching an airstrike on a Hezbollah convoy in Syria’s Golan Heights over a week ago, killing six Hezbollah fighters, an Iranian Revolutionary Guard General and two Syrians allied to the party.
Fears of retaliation by Hezbollah or other groups have risen since Sunday's attack, prompting Israel to move troops and equipment towards the borders with Lebanon and Syria.
Israel warned Lebanon and Syria on Friday not to allow any attacks on Israel from their soil, hoping to avoid reprisals for the airstrike.
