Lebanese army declares a state of "maximum alert" in response to Israeli threats to remove a tent. The tent was erected near a border area in the south of the country.

UN peacekeepers are working on contacts between the two sides to "reduce tension," news agency says. The Lebanese army considers the tent to be in Lebanese territory, according to the news agency. The Israeli army says the tent is in the territory of the Lebanese army, not of the UN peacekeeping force.
