Israeli forces have seized a municipal councillor and a worker in Kfarshuba, southern Lebanon, AFP reports, citing state media.

Asked by AFP in Jerusalem, the Israeli military said it was looking into the reports.

“An Israeli patrol took away Kfarshuba municipal council member Mohammad Hassan al-Hajj and worker Ahmad Salah Diab, taking them to an unknown location,” Lebanon’s state-run National News Agency said.

“The two men were working to pump water to the town of Kfarshuba when the Israeli patrol stopped them and took them away,” it said.
