Lebanese media reported that the operation of a unit of Israeli commandos to detain a Lebanese shepherd in the Shebaa fields failed after the shepherd escaped the siege of the so-called elite Zionist forces.
Lebanese media reported that a group of Israeli army commandos tried to arrest Hassan Zahra, a Lebanese shepherd, who was grazing his sheep in the liberated area of Shebaa Fields in the al-Shehl area on Sunday afternoon, but their operation failed.
According to the media, the Israeli military, which failed in its operation, abducted the shepherd, who according to the locals was about 400 goats, and took them into the occupied territories.
In this regard, Dr. Qassem Hashem, a member of the Development and Freedom Faction in the Lebanese Parliament, while condemning the Israeli regime’s action, emphasized: The Zionist regime has once again shown its aggressive approach and this time sought to kidnap a Lebanese citizen who was off the line. Abi was inside the Lebanese border.
According to the Lebanese MP, when the Israeli army saw that his hand was empty of this action, he showed his temptation to rob and take the shepherd’s herd with him to the occupied parts of the Shebaa fields.
He stressed that after the incident, we had contacts with the Lebanese army, UNIFIL forces, and the head of the Lebanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, in order to prepare the ground for the return of the stolen property.
Hashem stressed that if necessary, we are ready to file a complaint to the United Nations because of this theft.
According to The Times of Israel:
The Israeli military on Friday released a Lebanese shepherd it detained this week in a border area between the two countries, the UN peacekeeping mission in south Lebanon said.
“Today, the Israel Defense Forces released a Lebanese shepherd to UNIFIL at the Ras Naqoura (border) crossing,” the mission said in a statement.
“UNIFIL, in turn, handed him over to the Lebanese authorities through the International Committee of the Red Cross,” it added.
The Israeli army announced the shepherd’s release in a post on Twitter.
It said he had been detained on Tuesday because he had “intentionally crossed the border from Lebanese territory to Israel.”
