Rocks Spark IDF Complaint
July 13, 2000(Arutz 7)
The IDF has lodged a complaint with the United Nations on the situation on Israel's northern border since the May withdrawal. The petition presented today lists 43 incidents of stone-throwing at soldiers and residents of Israel from the Lebanese side of the border fence, plus attempts to cut and penetrate the fence. A number of IDF soldiers have been hurt recently by rocks hurled at them near the Fatma Gate outside Metullah. IDF sources added that the attacks make daily life for northern residents difficult, and especially hamper their ability to tend their fields and orchards along the border.
