Article Abstract:

Militant Islamic group, Hizbullah, believes that the area of southern Lebanon known as Shabaa Farms, belongs to Lebanon, and they will attack the Israeli troops guarding the area until Israel withdraws completely. Because the Israelis consider the area to be part of the Golan Heights, they continue to occupy the zone, resulting in continued Hizbullah guerrilla attacks.
