The Israel Defense Forces confirmed to JNS on Wednesday that it is building a barrier at the Israel-Lebanon border and that the security wall is entirely on the Israel side, countering Arab media reports that the work is being carried out beyond the Blue Line.
“Contrary to Lebanese reports, the barrier in question is located within Israeli territory and does not cross into Lebanese territory,” the IDF said.
The Hezbollah-affiliated Al Manar network had earlier reported that the IDF was building a new fence opposite the village of Yaroun in Southern Lebanon, close to an IDF outpost.
Other Arab reports said that some sections extend beyond the U.N.-demarcated Blue Line and inside Lebanese territory, particularly in areas facing the towns of Maroun al-Ras, Ayta al-Shaab and near Avivim.
The Blue Line is considered the internationally recognized withdrawal line, not the official border.
