  • The Blue Line is an international border between Israel and Lebanon which was determined by the United Nations after the IDF withdrew from southern Lebanon in 2000. Aside from some slight differences, this is in fact the line towards which the IDF withdrew upon conclusion of Operation Litani in 1978, according to UN Security Council Resolution 425. From the First Lebanon War until 2000, IDF forces remained beyond this border line. However, upon the Israeli government’s decision for a one-sided withdrawal from southern Lebanon, the IDF forces returned to Israel and remained, with recognition by the UN of a complete withdrawal by Israel to her authorized and legitimate borders.
    The Blue Line is a temporary line which has not been mentioned in any official agreements between Israel and Lebanon, and which is based on the international border which was determined by the countries in 1923. That being said, it is recognized as a de facto border between the two countries.

    • The Blue Line is the line of withdrawal of the IDF that was identified in 2000 in accordance with UNSC 425 (1978).

      To paraphrase the UNIFIL website.


      It isn't the border as it is within Lebanon.

        • Q18. What is the Blue Line?
          Answer:
          It is the line of withdrawal that was identified in the year 2000 by the United Nations, in cooperation with Lebanese and Israeli officials, for the purpose of confirming the withdrawal of Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) from Lebanese territory in conformity with Security Council resolution 425 (1978). The Blue Line is not the border between Lebanon and Israel.

            • What part of "its a sterile zone" don't you get? The area in between the blue line and the border is a sterile zone protected by mines and IDF patrols.

                      Revenge for fingering Hezbollah as being responsible for the car bomb that killed Harari, I suppose.

                          • Operation Cast lead 2 is about to kick off, the IDF has called up bods from SF units that operate in Gaza who'd finished their national service 2 years ago. Should liven up proceedings in the Leb too.

                            • You do know that Lebanon and Gaza are at opposite ends of Israel ?

                              There are no reports of any incidents in the UNIFIL AO.

                                Trust you to state the obvious as usual, when the Hezbollah fire off some rockets in sympathy it'll spill over.
