Hezbollah bombs found on border with Lebanon
The Israel Defense Forces uncovered a series of Hezbollah roadside bombs along the Lebanese border between Kibbutz Ma'ayan Baruch and Ghajar on Wednesday. The explosive devices were discovered from a distance and have yet to be detonated.

According to the IDF, a United Nations helicopter patrol confirmed the presence of the bombs.

The team spotted the mines from a distance and called in other scouts as well as sappers, who confirmed that four bombs were placed directly on the border, beside the road used by army patrols.

The Hatzbani river's course is one of the most vulnerable points of the border since it enables anyone to reach the actual border and
in effect enter Israeli territory, inside the wadi, without being detected.

2. I
would like to respond to you, but I think the correct response will have to break I/P rules.

We must discuss this in a different medium.

3. the article is contradictory

The piece says they were found near the border with al-Ghajar, but then states that they were "within Israeli territory". al-Ghajar is divided by the border between Lebanon & Syria's Israeli-occupied Golan Heights--thus, not an inch within "Israel" itself.
