Israeli occupation troops brought in military reinforcements in the two areas of Zebdine and Bastra that lie in the Shebaa farms, the National News Agency reported on Sunday.

The step came after residents of the region of Arqoub crossed 20 meters inside the border line in protest to Zionist bulldozing acres of land in the said areas.

Moreover, Israeli warplanes and a reconnaissance aircraft hovered over the region.

Residents of Arqoub including MP Qassem Hashem crossed 20 meters inside the border line on the Zebdine axis protesting the Israeli demolitions of acres of plantation and uprooting hundreds of olive trees.
