Israeli forces said they killed an “armed” person who crossed the so-called “yellow line” in southern Lebanon, a military zone extending several kilometres north of the border.
Israeli forces have captured Lebanese territory and drawn up a yellow line creating a “security strip” ten kilometres deep. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said, “That is where we are and we are not leaving”.
The line has drawn comparisons with Gaza, where Israel has partitioned Palestinian territory into separate zones, with an eastern area totalling 60 percent of the enclave controlled by the Israeli military.
