Two Lebanese were killed by abandoned Israeli ordnance in the south this weekend, while another person was wounded, reported the Daily Star newspaper on Monday.
Sixteen-year-old Mohammed Shartouni died Saturday after a land mine detonated in the town of Meiss al-Jabal where he was hunting.
The young man had come with his parents from Beirut to spend the weekend in the town. Shartouni’s father, Moussa, is a former Israeli detainee, said the paper.
In Boueida, west of Marjayoun, a 18-year-old shepherd, Yacoub Nabaa, was killed when a bomb exploded as he was tending his sheep.
Witnesses told the paper that Nabaa was holding an Israeli 155 mm shell when it exploded.
Also on Saturday, a 28-year-old farmer was wounded when an object believed to be a mine exploded in a field where he was working.
Mohammed Baalbaki was planting onions in Kfar Roummane when he touched a “strange object,” causing it to blow up, the paper added.
At least 12 people have been killed and 35 others injured by land mines and unexploded shells since Israel’s withdrawal from south Lebanon in May last year – Albawaba.com
