Israeli Bulldozer Removes Cement Blocks near Shebaa Farms

إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية W460

An Israeli unit carried out on Monday some changes near the occupied Shebaa Farms, the National News Agency reported.

It said that the unit, comprised of a bulldozer and a number of soldiers, removed cubes of reinforced concrete near the Shebaa Farms.

The units worked on the installation of an iron gate on the road between the liberated Bastra farms and the occupied areas facing it.

Later in the day, the Lebanese army erected new concrete blocks on the western edge of the Bustra Farm, in response to Israel's removal of the old cubes, NNA said.

Tensions were recently high along the Lebanese-Israeli border.

Last week, a 12-member Israeli force crossed the electronic fence in the outskirts of the southern border town of Mays al-Jabal in the Kroum al-Sharqi area. They planted spy devices consisted of a camera and a transmission instrument that are both solar powered.

Over the weekend, residents of the Mays al-Jabal staged a sit-in protesting Israel's recurrent violation against Lebanon's southern territories. They were accompanied by MP Qassem Hashem.

Israeli troops had fired tear gas bombs in the direction of the campaigners to disperse them which led to several cases of suffocation.

The development comes amid high tensions between Israel and Hizbullah that follow an exchange of threats and amid unconfirmed reports of Israeli airstrikes on Hizbullah posts inside Syria.

"Israeli troops had fired tear gas bombs in the direction of the campaigners to disperse them which led to several cases of suffocation."

tear gas is considered a chemical weapon and its use is illegal in conflict situations, where is Sigrid Haag to condemn this?

It should be condemned just like Israel's occupation of Syrian lands by the Syrian government. Oh you know what also should be condemned ? Live bullets used against peaceful protesters in Syria and Iran.

you mean Bahrein!

as for Syria, they used bullets against thugs who kidnapped their own soldiers cutting their throats as means of "peaceful" protests.... while in Iran, the protests were against the Saudi / American hostile attitude toward the country and its citizens, thus there were no bullets but flowers.

I'm prepared to condemn the attack on any peaceful protesters in Bahrain. Are you prepared to condemn the attack on innocent Syrian protesters? I didn't think so that is what makes you a safawite.

why so obsessed with iran ya troll? you could have taken a million different examples other than iran, but unfortunately, you would have been wrong in each one of them all the same.
tear gas is banned by the chemical weapons convention of 1993, meaning it is illegal in war, yet it is legal in domestic riot control.
when israel uses it across borders, on citizens of a country that it is at war with, it is not "domestic riot control" but rather war.

but starving entire cities by the iranian terror militia in Syria and massacring its people are perfectly legal according to the spokesman of the wilayat al faqih.

“Lebanese security officials responded to overwhelmingly peaceful protesters in downtown Beirut by shooting into the air with live rounds, firing rubber bullets, TEAR GAS canisters, and water cannons, and in some cases hurling stones and beating protesters with batons and rifles,” said Lama Fakih, Senior Crisis Advisor at Amnesty International."

Hezbstakhfarallah will never attack or try to take back this area. They know that it belong to Syrian territory according to the maps even if Lebanese live there. And the Syrian dicktator don't bother Israel and they let him stay the bitcher of damascus

The "resistance" is too busy trying to defend ASSad. Who will hold it accountable?

a nice road with a metal gate looks better than concrete blocks
