The Lebanese Army announced that the national border area with Israel, “a closed military zone”

The Lebanese Army announced that the national territory adjacent to the border with Israel near the gate, “Fatima”, a “closed military zone.” The Lebanese newspaper An-Nahar wrote that the army at the same time allowed a demonstration near the old prison of the Israeli occupation of southern Lebanon in one of the nearby villages.

In this connection, another Lebanese newspaper – Al-Ahbar, close to the organization “Hezbollah”, argues that the scheduled June 5 action to break the Israeli-Lebanese border, dedicated to the “Day of Nax” – the anniversary of the Six Day War, is in jeopardy because of the strong pressures on “Hezbollah”. Meanwhile, as noted by the Israeli Information Portal Zman, perhaps, that “Hezbollah” is playing a “card of weakness” and allows Palestinians from the refugee camps themselves commit acts of provocation on Israel’s border.

Recall that the “Hezbollah” and pro-Palestinian groups in Lebanon plan to try to break the Israeli-Lebanese border in the “Day of Nax” – the anniversary of the Six Day War. The precedent of such a breakthrough has occurred on the border between Israel and Syria on May 15 in the “Nakba Day”, celebrated as the beginning of the “Palestinian Catastrophe” – the expulsion of Israeli Arabs, 800 000. By the way, pro-Palestinian sources blamed for the deaths of 12 Palestinians during a march May 15 in Israel. The Israelis, in turn, argue that the Israeli border opened fire on demonstrators Lebanese army.

Meanwhile, organizers of the march are confused about to engage in action on June 5 and other Arab countries. One of the leaders of the Palestinian Fatah wing of Lebanese – Munir MacDonald, Said, “marches to the Israeli border” will be organized also in Syria, Jordan and Gaza. A secretary-general “of Hezbollah,” Hassan Nasrallah called on the army of Lebanon, Syria, Jordan and Egypt to begin an attack on Israel and “liberate the territories occupied during the war.” In response, addressed only the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Jordan Natser Jude. He said that his country remains committed to a peace agreement with Israel, signed in 1994. According to him, peace is the strategic interest of Jordan. Judah also said that the agreement is important and for Palestinians.
