Sorry Mephisto, the Sheeba Farms were part of Syria not Lebanon. It was captured LONG before the Lebanese Civil War.
Why was it captured? The Syrians were using it as an artillery observation center as it daily bombarded Israel.
Now I'm sure you'll say how it's disputed territory. Well legally it's not. It was mandated in the 30s as part of Syria. In 2000 Lebanon laid claim to the land based on deeds. This, however, holds nothing as far as international borders are concerned. That would be like saying since many Americans own land in Mexico, Baja California is rightfully ours.
So, Hezbolla is already lying.
