#3 Look at this map here:

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. The area is about 14 kilometres (8.7 mi) in length and averages 2.5 kilometres (1.6 mi) in width, at altitudes of 150 to 1,880 meters (490–6,170 ft). This fertile and well-watered farm land produced barley, fruits and vegetables. There is controversy about whether the Shebaa Farms are part of Lebanon or the Golan Heights, a region claimed by both Israel and Syria.

The region was captured by Israel from Syria during the Six Day War of 1967 and remained under Israeli control after the withdrawal of Israeli forces from southern Lebanon in 2000. The Lebanese refer to the ridge at the northern end of the Shebaa Farms area as the Kafr Shuba Hills, an area that Israel refers to as Har Dov. This ridge, also partly within Lebanon, is east of the Lebanese village of Kafr Shuba.

#5 Examining the current campaign I get the feeling that Isreal is following hezbollah game plan.Attacking well fortified positions.Looking at the maps(both 3dc and topographic)I wish Isreal would stage out of metulla to cut southern lebonon from bekka valley.There are many hillsides in this AO to establish a firebase.Such a base would cut off resupply to the south and provide a Hezi magnet for counterattack,intead of them waiting in their bunkers.It would also serve to get asshats knickers in a twist as well as open a new front from which to attack lebanon.
