An Israeli military vessel violated Lebanon's territorial waters at dawn Monday and threatened a Lebanese fishing boat.

“In a new violation of Lebanese sovereignty and (U.N. Security Council) Resolution 1701, a gunboat belonging to the Israeli enemy violated the Lebanese territorial waters off Ras al-Naqoura at 3:40 am,” the Lebanese army said in a statement.

It added that the vessel crossed 10 meters into Lebanon's waters and threatened the crew of a Lebanese fishing boat.

The army coordinated with the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) in the wake of the incident, the statement said.
