The Israeli army said that two explosions took place near one Israeli position in Shebaa farms area on the Lebanese borders, expected to be a result of two missile attacks. The spokeswoman for the Israeli army said that this assumption has not been confirmed yet.

No reports were made on casualties in the two explosions which took place on Thursday.

Israeli military forces backed by helicopters started search and inspection operations to know the implications of the two explosions. No details were given.
