 Israel Claims Ownership Of Lebanese Gas Field After Establishing Gaza-Style ‘Yellow Line’ Near Border

Tel Aviv has openly vowed to destroy all Lebanese border villages and prevent their residents from returning

Israel has declared a large swath of the southern Lebanese border area a “Forward Defense Zone,” similar to the ‘Yellow Line’ perimeter used by Tel Aviv to seize additional territory in the Gaza Strip.

The Israeli military’s Arabic spokesman Avichay Adraee, on 19 April, published a map of the area, where he said troops are operating to destroy “Hezbollah-affiliated infrastructure.”

The map covers areas beyond the southern Lebanese coast and into the ocean, including the Qana gas field, which belongs to Lebanon according to the maritime border agreement reached indirectly between Beirut and Tel Aviv in 2022.

“Five military brigades are operating alongside Navy forces simultaneously south of the forward defense line in southern Lebanon to destroy Hezbollah-affiliated infrastructure in the area and prevent a direct threat to the northern towns,” Adraee said.

The Israeli military initially referred to the 10-kilometer area as a ‘Yellow Line.’

According to the Israeli army, the 10-kilometer zone includes 55 towns and villages in southern Lebanon.

However, Lebanese researcher Ahmad Baydoun revealed that the area “covers approximately 70 Lebanese villages – more than the 55 villages reported by Israeli media,” adding that the zone includes towns “known to still be inhabited: the Christian villages of Rmeish, Debl, and Ain Ebel, and the Sunni town of Shebaa.”
