	Shebaa Farms - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Shebaa Farms is a disputed agricultural area consisting of a dozen or so abandoned farms located southwest of Shebaa, a Lebanese village on the northwestern slopes of Mount Hermon, at the junction of Syria, Lebanon and Israel.
		Most Shebaa Farms land owners and farmers lived in the village of Shebaa, in undisputed Lebanese territory, and are no longer able to farm the land.
		All showed the Shebaa Farms clearly in Syria." [5] Moreover, on Feb. 13, 2006, a 'Beirut Times' article reported on Walid Jumblatt, Druze leader and Lebanese parliament member displaying the map and revealing that it was a "fake map" with the boundary shifted.

		It is undisputable matter of fact that Sheeba Farms currently is a piece of occupied arab land held by jewish army.
		When israel left Sheeba Farms, Lebanon and Syria will decide themselves which arab state it belongs toand jews have no say in that, because they are not arabs.
		Shebaa Farms, to me, is a fascinating example of the general dilemma of the Middle East.

		The farmers of the Shebaa farms had free access to their lands and it mattered very little to them whose sovereignty their private property was under.
		The fact that the Shebaa farms became an issue for the Lebanese before April 2000 could also be seen in the list of demands Lebanon compiled in preparation for a possible peace accord with Israel.
		For Hizbullah, the Shebaa farms front continues to preoccupy the armed wing of the organization and, in fact, to maintain its raison d’être - the muqawama - or resistance against Israel.

		Expect Israel, regardless of the fate of this plan, to be pressured into ceding the Sheeba Farms.
		So, the “delineation” described in the plan would be good for Lebanon, because it would be a de facto recognition on the part of Syria tha Lebanon is an independent country.

	Israpundit: This is How It Happens
		Apparently, unbeknownst to anyone, Syria had ceded the Shebaa Farms region - land that it lost to Israel in 1967 - to Lebanon.
		Hezbollah refused to disarm and continued their anti-Israel violence, claiming that Israel's occupation of the Shebaa Farms meant that Israel was still occupying Lebanese land.
		Sheeba Farms would have left the scene faster than the Secretary General's son's new car from his subcontract with oil for food sales.

		The Israeli Jet fighters attack a Syrian radar station 20 miles north of Beirut (Daher El Baider) as a retaliation for Hizbollah's military operation in the vicinity of Sheeba Farms (South Lebanon) against an Israeli patrol.
		Accordingly, the Sheeba farms are not covered by the UN Resolution 425, but a part of Resolution 242.
		It is worth mentioning that Sheeba farms fall outside the blue line of the Lebanese Israeli borders.

		The US is not pressing Israel on the [Shebaa Farms] issue, but is discussing with Jerusalem when the right time would be to put it on the table...
		While the U.S. initiative calls for transferring control of Shaba Farms to Lebanon, it stipulates that the permanent international border will not be determined if Syria continues to refuse to agree on the boundaries of this area.
		Hezbollah wanted to derail a potential Shebaa Farms deal -- which would bolster the Prime Minister's standing and take away its main rationale for keeping arms; and it wanted a prisoner swap -- which would bolster its own standing as the party in Lebanon that gets results.

		Subsequently Hezbollah and the Lebanese government have called for the removal of Israel from the Sheeba farms, and Israel refuses, therefore military exchanges continue between Hezbollah and the Israeli Army (IDF).
		Furthermore a sizable minority in Lebanon see the Hezbollah and its Iranian government and Syrian patrons as anti-Lebanese who use the Sheeba Farms as an excuse to continue with their armed presence in Lebanon.
		Therefore any renewed fighting between Israel and Lebanon could be blamed on Hezbollah and thus may increase internal calls for the disarmament and disbandment of the group and that of its Syrian backers.

		Just listen: A few weeks ago, the Swedish government announced that it would label Golan Heights wine as a product from "Israeli Occupied Syria." The Swedes were oblivious to the little dance played out around a request by the United Nations that Syria demarcate its view of the 1967 border.
		Turtle Bay was aiming to push Syria to claim the Sheeba farms, a small tract held by Israel and claimed by Hezbollah for Lebanon.
		The United Nations recognizes Sheeba Farms as belonging to Syria; should Israel and Syria ever negotiate a peace treaty, it is clear the Security Council would expect Sheeba Farms to be returned to Syrian control.

	Hizballah as Strategic Threat to Israel
		The organization leadership pretends that its military activity is intended to liberate the Shebaa Farms and defend the Lebanese territory against Israeli aggression and is coordinated with the Lebanese government.
		[a]rmed attacks on the Shab'a farms seem no longer to be on the agenda of Hizbollah, which appears eager to move away from an issue that is losing its attractionHizbollah has sought to redefine its armed resistance as a means of defying the enemy without necessarily firing a shotInstead, resistance has become, in effect, deterrence.
		According to another view, Hizballah is aware of the major danger represented by the confrontation with the United States and Israel under the flag of the UN and the international community for the implementation of Security Council Resolution 1559.

		However after the withdrawal, Syria transferred part of its Israeli occupied Golan heights (called the Sheeba farms) to Lebanon.
		As a result the Lebanese movement Hezbollah has stated that it will not cease attacks against Israel unless the Sheeba Farms are returned to Lebanon.
		This dispute has lead to periodic clashes between Israel and Hezbollah forces which have so far been limited in small parts of the border.

		The second sentence is meant to imply that Hezbollah has fulfilled its role and is no longer needed, but that is clearly not the case.
