Israeli soldiers attacked Hezbollah supporters with tear gas shells as they celebrated the 21st anniversary of Israel's withdrawal from southern Lebanon, local media reported on Wednesday.
According to Lebanon's National News Agency (NNA), the Israeli soldiers intervened in a demonstration in the southern Lebanese town of Al Adeyse bordering Israel on Tuesday, attempting to disperse it with tear gas shells.
Hezbollah supporters gathered along the border to mark the 21st anniversary of Israel's withdrawal from southern Lebanon in 2000.
A large number of people arrived in the area in hundreds of vehicles, waving Palestine and Hezbollah flags.
Meanwhile, Hezbollah Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah on Tuesday warned that if Israel continued its violations in occupied East Jerusalem, "a regional war could break out, which will result in the destruction of this country [Israel].”
Delivering a speech on the 21st anniversary of the end of Israel's occupation of southern Lebanon, Nasrallah in his address said: "You should be aware that violating Al-Quds [Jerusalem] and Al-Aqsa Mosque is unlike any other violation you practice."
