A Lebanese man has been shot dead and another wounded in south Lebanon by Israel forces, Lebanese security sources have said.
The incident happened near the divided border village of Ghajar.
Israeli and Lebanese officials said the shooting was believed to be connected to drug-smuggling rather than fighting with militants.
Tensions between Israel and Lebanon have been high since the end of the war with Lebanon-based Hezbollah in 2006.
