... Israel must withdraw its forces from the area. "

Beirut (News and Us)-the United Nations Interim Forces in Lebanon (UNIFIL), Tuesday (7/4), insists Israel must withdraw from the northern part of Ghajar, a Village on the border of Lebanon.

Israel's occupation of the northern part of the village was a real violation of UN Resolution 1701, UNIFIL said in a statement. The UN troops said Israel should withdraw its forces from the area. Not long ago UNIFIL refusing Israel build a fence around the village.

UNIFIL will work closely with the Lebanese military in order to implement the UN resolution and prevent any violation by Israel. Israel occupied the northern part of the village during the 2006 war.

Ghajar is a village of 2,000 residents with Alawi in the Hasbani River on the border between Lebanon and the Golan Heights; the international community recognized as a territory occupied by Israel but Syria.

Control over Ghajar has been repeatedly moved the hand. Three hundred years ago, the village was known as Taranjeh. The village was given the name of Ghajar under the rule of the Ottoman Empire (Ottoman Empire), when the land was seized from villagers by the Kurdish people and sold by force.

According to local legend, the Kurdish Governor tried to ride his horse ever Ghajar on the graves of pious people, Sheikh Al-Arba'in. The horse is not going by order of the Governor and on the following day, a fire broke out, thus damaging the shield and swords of the Governor. The Kurds fled and quickly resell it.

Before the 1967 Arab-Israel war, Ghajar was considered part of Syria and its citizens counted in the Census of 1960, Syria.

When Israel captured the Golan Heights from Syria in 1967, Ghajar remained a land of no man's land for two and a half months.  Alawi community there launched a petition to Governor of Israel in the Golan Heights so that they are included into the area of Israel, as part of the Golan Heights, and not Lebanon. The reason is that they think of themselves as people of Syria, as the majority of the citizens of the Golan.
Israel agrees to enter into the area of occupation in Ghajar, Golan Heights, and then receive their citizens living under the control of Israel.

After operation Litani in 1978, Israel gave up its position in Lebanon to the South LebanoN Army and inaugurated the "Good Fence" policy. P

asukan While the UN in Lebanon (UNIFIL) was formed after the RAID, after the passage of U.n. Security Council Resolution 425 of March 1978 to confirm the withdrawal of Israel from southern Lebanon, restore peace and security, and help the Lebanese Government restore authority in that area.

Ghajar expanded northward into Lebanese territory, and entered the neighborhood of Wazzani in the North of the border.
