The IDF safely defused a bomb they had found yesterday at the side of a road used by IDF patrols north of Tyre yesterday. The army spokesman said it was dealt with before it exploded.
Meanwhile, IDF engineers have completed a minute examination of all buildings in Lebanon used by Israeli soldiers. The examination was begun after the destruction of a building in Tyre exactly a year ago, as a result of a gas leak, in which 76 Israeli soldiers and border police were killed.
The IDF uses many buildings in Lebanon formerly occupied by the PLO, while other buildings have been rented from their Lebanese owners.
