Israel
- Lebanon
|
|
World's most probably heavily guarded border. Note the barbed wire
fence. Anyhow the Israeli named one border crossing (at Metullah) «The
good fence». Picture taken (from Lebanese side) in 1990.
Israel has since her founding in 1948 for
shorter or longer periods occupied parts of all her neighboring countries: Lebanon, Syria, Palestine [Jordan] and Egypt. |

"Fatima gate"
between Metullah, Israel and Kfar Kila, Lebanon pictured from Lebanese
side. The border passing was closed down after the 2000 liberty in South
Lebanon. A huge hill of sand with an observation post is put on Israeli side at this former so
busy gate which used to be nicknamed "The Good Fence". (Photographer of this picture: Lars
Sundsfjord.)

Israeli side of the border.
