"In the framework of operations to find unexploded cluster bombs dropped by Israeli aircraft on the border region during its last aggression, the army found 25 cluster bombs," the army said.

The discovery was made near the village of Kfar Hamam, around five kilometers (three miles) north of the disputed Shebaa Farms, a border area that is occupied by Israel and claimed by Lebanon.

Four members of the radical Shiite movement Hezbollah were killed in the area at the end of November during clashes with the Israeli army, which saw 11 of its soldiers wounded.

The fighting was the most violent in the area since Israel withdrew from southern Lebanon in 2000.
