The BBC has been given rare access to an operation by French troops, part of the UN peacekeeping force in Lebanon, as they search for positions that were used by the Lebanese armed group Hezbollah to carry out attacks against Israel.
A ceasefire deal between Israel and Hezbollah was reached six months ago, ending more than a year of conflict.
Under the deal, Hezbollah agreed to remove its fighters and weapons from southern Lebanon, the Lebanese army would deploy thousands of soldiers to the area, while Israel would withdraw troops that had invaded the country during the war.
But the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights said at least 71 civilians had been killed in Lebanon in Israeli air strikes since the ceasefire came into effect.
