The Israel Defense Forces said Tuesday that troops had arrested a shepherd who crossed into Israeli territory from Lebanon.
An IDF statement said the shepherd was taken for questioning after he was nabbed near Mount Dov, a contested area claimed by Israel, Lebanon and Syria.
“The IDF won’t allow any attempt to violate the sovereignty of the State of Israel,” the statement said.
The Iran-backed Lebanese terror group Hezbollah has been reported to use shepherds to gather intelligence on Israeli military operations along the border.
