UNIFIL: Israel was telling the truth

With the foreign media focused on the non-story at Mugrabi gate, Yonatan brings our attention to this tidbit from Haaretz,which probably won’t make it to CNN:

The United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) accepted on Thursday Israel’s version of the events that concluded in an exchange of fire between the Israel Defense Forces and the Lebanese Army at the border late Wednesday.

UNIFIL patrolled the area around Israel’s and Lebanon’s shared border, photographed the site, and concluded that IDF troops operated entirely within Israeli territory.

The Lebanese Army on Wednesday fired warning shots at IDF troops, claiming that the troops had entered Lebanese territory.

The incident occurred north of the border fence that Israel erected several dozen meters within Israeli territory, but south of the actual international border between the two countries.
