    The army’s statement says the incident occurred Tuesday near the village of Rmeish, adding that it also caused a fire that spread to the Israeli side of the border.

    The statement said that shortly after the incident, Lebanese troops as well as U.N. peacekeepers and firefighters arrived in the area and extinguished the blaze.
