Shebaa farms were tended by Lebanese citizens. Before the illegal occupation by Israel, they paid taxes to the Lebanese government. Any dispute between Syria and Lebanon is because of foreign colonialists meddling in affairs that should have never been theirs.
The shebaa farms have been an issue between Israel and Hezbollah ever since Israel failed to withdraw from the territory in 2000 in typical colonial settler state fashion.
The recent escalation is due to Israel’s heavy handed response to Hamas, but this is not a new issue.
