The Times of Israel: Israeli Citizens Cross into Lebanon & Establish Outposts
December 17, 2024Members of a small far-right Israeli group advocating the annexation and settlement of southern Lebanon claimed on Sunday to have crossed the border and established an outpost settlement inside Lebanese territory, but the military said that the group’s claims were false and that they never left Israel.
The group was led by the Uri Tzafon Movement, a religious Zionist organization that has held virtual conferences calling for Jewish settlement in southern Lebanon, in areas which it claims belong to the Jewish people.
The group claimed that “Families from the movement for settlement in southern Lebanon entered yesterday to settle the land. The families set up tents, planted trees, and also created a memorial corner in memory of Yehudah Dror Yahalom,” an IDF soldier from a West Bank settlement who was killed in combat in southern Lebanon in October.
