SIDON, Lebanon: Senior Lebanese and Israeli military officials met Thursday in Naqoura, south Lebanon, under the supervision of U.N. to discuss recent developments and violations along the border between the two countries.

Participants did not issue any statement following the four-hour meeting at the U.N. headquarters in Naqoura, which ended at 1.30 p.m.

The tripartite meeting comes after several security incidents south of the Litani River, the area of operations of the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon, as well as heightened tensions along the border.

Two weeks ago, rockets were fired from south Lebanon into northern Israel, prompting Israel to retaliate by firing six artillery shells. No Casualties were reported from either attack.

On Friday, five French peacekeepers serving with UNIFIL were wounded in a roadside bomb attack near the southern coastal city of Tyre.

A rocket, aimed at Israel, was also fired late Sunday from the south but fell short, landing and wounding a resident in the Lebanese border town of Houla.

The commander of UNIFIL peacekeeping forces urged Lebanese authorities Wednesday to step up efforts to prevent destabilizing acts in the south, in the wake of the recent bombings and rocket launchings.
