Lebanon accuses Israel of imposing 'tunnel' allegations without evidence

Lebanon's Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri said Israel had provided no evidence to back up its assertion that tunnels had been dug across their shared border.

Israel accused Lebanon's Iran-backed Hezbollah movement of digging cross-border attack tunnels and launched an operation on Tuesday to "expose and thwart" them.

"The Israelis did not present any information," at a meeting with the Lebanese army and U.N. peacekeepers, a statement from Berri's office said.
