Land grabs or maritime control, Isreal has no legal basis to be on Lebanese territory or any rights to the Lebanese Qana gas field known as bloc 9 to which Lebanon has full exploration rights pursuant to the 2022 Israel- Lebanon maritime agreement which established a permanent sea line 23 to separate the maritime boundaries between the two countries.
