Lebanon claims to build 'road' near Israeli Hermon border

Pro-Iranian media Al-Mayadeen says that people in a village near the border with the Golan and Mount Hermon have begun building a new road with a bulldozer. This comes after weeks of provocations in the border areas, including Hezbollah setting up a tent months ago in the disputed Mount Dov area, attacks on the border fence near Ghajar, the firing of a missile and Lebanese politicians coming to the border area. 

The latest provocation takes place at Kfar Chouba (Kfar Shuba) which is a town near the border line.

According to the reports and video the people in the “town have begun bulldozing operations to build a road near the so-called ‘withdrawal line’, pointing out that the current Lebanese bulldozing works are unprecedented, since the liberation of the south and western Bekaa from the Israeli occupation.”  

The point here is that Hezbollah which controls southern Lebanon appears to be making a new provocation near the border. Hezbollah has been celebrating its claims of victory in the 2006 war.

“The correspondent of Al-Mayadeen reported from the occupied Kfar Shuba hills, southern Lebanon, that Lebanese bulldozers had begun on lands adjacent to what is known as the withdrawal line (the Blue Line) in the border area with occupied Palestine.” READ MORE
