“An Israeli infantry force crossed the border this afternoon in the Jabal al-Zalqa area in the outskirts of the town of Shebaa, where it tried to kidnap a number of shepherds who eventually managed to escape,” NNA said.

This is not the first time Israel tries to abduct Lebanese shepherds
On June 1, a Lebanese shepherd escaped an abduction attempt by Israeli troops in a nearby area.
In April, Israeli troops made an incursion into Lebanese territory in a bid to abduct a shepherd but the attempt was foiled by the Lebanese man’s dog.
