Body of Israeli Surfer Found on Israeli Beach Near Naquora
The body of a missing Israeli was found on an Israeli beach close to Naqoura Saturday.
United Nations interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) received a communication on Friday from the Israeli Army saying that an Israeli citizen has disappeared while water surfing.
Israel requested from the UNIFIL and Marine Unit working within Lebanese territorial waters to report the surfers whereabouts if found.
Israel reportedly fired flare shells off the town of Naqoura in the south Friday night amid information that an Israeli soldier disappeared while doing physical exercise near the border with Lebanon.
Al-Arabiya TV network said that Israel fired the shells off Naqoura.
Other information said an Israeli soldier drowned on Thursday while doing water sports and Israel is still looking for his body.
UNIFIL spokesperson Yasmina Bouziane told Voice of Lebanon Radio station that U.N. peacekeepers have no information about the disappearance of a soldier and Israel fired the flare shells 4-6 kilometers off the Lebanese coast.
