Unidentified infiltrators crossed into northern Israel from Lebanon early Sunday, according to a report from the IDF.
Soldiers spotted the suspects and sent them racing back across the border, an IDF spokesperson said.
The incident occurred Sunday morning “during a routine activity along the Israel-Lebanon border,” the IDF spokesperson said.
“The force responded by opening fire towards the suspects, who escaped north, returning to Lebanon. The incident is currently being reviewed,” the IDF spokesperson added.
Meanwhile two Turkish residents were wounded today (Sunday, Oct. 5) when a Syrian mortar shell scored a direct hit on a home in the Turkish border town of Suruc, the Kuwait News Agency (KUNA) reported.
A second Syrian shell struck a house in the nearby town of Buyukkendirli. No one was wounded in that attack.
