Shebaa
A town and farms in south Lebanon on the slopes of Mount Hermon. Lebanon considers them occupied land, Israel treats them as part of the Golan; a long-running border flashpoint.
Shebaa is a Lebanese town with adjacent farms at the junction of the Lebanese and Syrian borders with the occupied Golan. After Israel's 2000 withdrawal from south Lebanon, the UN said the Shebaa Farms lay outside the Blue Line, leaving the dispute unresolved. Lebanon claims the area with maps and documents, while Israel treats it as part of the Golan. The area sees repeated Israeli incursions and road-clearing work.
