Unnamed section

[edit]

This is basically the Israeli Security Zone and should be either merged with that article or deleted altogether.

I've proposed a merge, see Talk:Israeli Security Zone. Robofish (talk) 23:29, 18 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

South Lebanon security beltIsraeli occupation of southern Lebanon – see Syrian occupation of Lebanon very similar historical periods. Michiganman89 (talk) 20:17, 8 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

That's acceptable to me. In fact, Ngrams seems to show that that name is now more common. RGloucester 14:04, 9 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

"Former country" infobox

[edit]

This new infobox seems extremely contentious, seemingly attempts to make Israeli POV terminology sound neutral ("South Lebanon security belt"), and circumvent the above move conclusion. I'd like to see where occupied south Lebanon was ever recognised as a "country" apart from by Israel and its proxy militia. Free Lebanon State would seem to fit the bill, but not this article.

Change request

[edit]

Please change the word Metola To Metula. That is the international recognized name of the town

2000 Israeli withdrawal

[edit]

Before the Israeli election in May 1999 the prime minister of Israel, Ehud Barak, promised that within a year all Israeli forces would withdraw from Southern Lebanon, effectively dropping the support for the South Lebanon Army. When negotiation efforts between Israel and Syria, the goal of which was to bring a peace agreement between Israel and Lebanon as well, failed due to Syrian control of Lebanon (until 2005), Barak led to the decision of withdrawal of the IDF to the Israeli border. With the mounting pressure on South Lebanon Army and the South Lebanon security belt administration, the system began to fall apart, with many members of the army and administration requesting political asylum in Israel and other countries. With mounting attacks of Hezbollah, the ranks of the South Lebanese Army deteriorated, with reduced conscription and high rates of desertion at lower ranks. In April 2000, when it was clear the Israeli withdrawal was about to happen within weeks or months, some SLA officials began moving their families to northern Israel.

The Israeli complete withdrawal took place on 24 May 2000. No Israeli soldiers were killed or wounded during the redeployment to the internationally recognized border.[citation needed] The South Lebanon Army however shortly collapsed, with most officers and administration officials fleeing to Israel with their families, as Hezbollah amounted pressure on the remaining units. When Israel allowed the pouring refugees in, some 7,000 refugees, including South Lebanon Army soldiers, Security Zone officials and their families arrived in Galilee.

Reason: Providing source for date of withdrawal, removing reference to Israeli casualties I could not find source material for, as well as a minor grammatical change. KSanders1890 (talk) 12:44, 1 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hardly appropriate map

[edit]

Hardly appropriate to use an Israeli map of the Lebanese land they occupied. It’s not even in English. Lebanesebebe123 (talk) 18:23, 12 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

The last line of the second paragraph currently reads: "They fought a guerrilla war] [sic] in Southern Lebanon throughout the occupation."

The close bracket after the word "war" should be removed so the sentence reads, "They fought a guerrilla war in Southern Lebanon throughout the occupation." AsphodelMonths (talk) 12:25, 2 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
