The Lebanese-Israeli border was quiet Tuesday, hours after Israel announced an operation against what it said were Hezbollah infiltration tunnels, a UN peacekeeping force said. The Israeli army said it launched an operation dubbed "Northern Shield" to destroy "attack tunnels" it accused the Iran-backed Lebanese militia of digging under the border. Hezbollah had not yet reacted and the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon said that there no signs of any increased tension, as Israeli bulldozers went to work.
