Lebanese army: Israeli occupation forces crossed UN-drawn blue line, retreated

BEIRUT, Oct 2 (KUNA) -- The Lebanese army announced on Wednesday that a unit from the Israeli occupation forces had crossed the UN-drawn blue line between Lebanon and occupied Palestine.
A statement by the army revealed that the unit crossed the blue line for a distance of 400 meters between the areas of Khirba Yaroun and Bawabat Al-Adsiya before retreating.
The blue line is a demarcation line dividing Lebanon from occupied Palestine and the Golan Heights. It was drawn by the UN on June 7, 2000, following the Israeli occupation withdrawal from southern Lebanon. (end) ayb.gta
