The militants of the Lebanese terrorist organization "Hizballah" attacked the posts of the Israeli army stationed in the area of the shabaa farms. This area borders with Lebanon, Syria, Israel and the Golan Heights, also occupied by the Israeli army. This is the first manifestation of the activity of the rebels in this area over the past four months.
Eyewitnesses of the incident say that the militants of the Hizballah carried out shelling using not only artillery, but also anti -tank missile systems on positions from anti -tank missile systems. There have been no messages about victims and injured.
Hizballlah interrupted the broadcasting of its satellite television station with an urgent news release to confirm the fact of the attack, reports Reuters.
“Hizballah” periodically attacks the positions of the Israeli army in the shabaa farms area after the militants of this organization supplanted the Israelis from the southern regions of Livan in 2000.
Beirut claims that the territory of the Farm Shebaa belongs to Livan. The Israeli side, said in Lebanon, refused to withdraw their troops from there, motivating this by the fact that the territories of the shabaa farms were occupied not in 1978, like the rest of the Lebanese territory, but during the June war of 1967, along with Syrian Golan Heights.
Syria at one time verbally confirmed that the territories of the shabaa farms belong to Lebanon, but this was not documented.
The Russian Foreign Ministry considers the territories of the Farm Shebaa Arab territories occupied by Israel in 1967.
