BEIRUT – Israeli warplanes dropped an unidentified object in southern Lebanon on Tuesday, Lebanon’s official news agency reported, adding that Lebanese security forces were yet unable to ascertain the nature of the item.

According to the Lebanese report, the Israeli Air Force jets dropped the object in a ravine running between the towns of Houla and Tallouse.

The Lebanon National Army was unable to inspect the object since, the report said, the area was littered with unexploded cluster bombs allegedly dropped there by the Israeli army during the Second Lebanon War.

Last month, a Lebanese security official also said that the Lebanese army dismantled four rockets in southern Lebanon that were set to be fired into Israel.
