The area is located between the Lebanese village of Shebaa on the northwestern slopes of Mount Hermon, the Druze village of Majdal Shams on the slopes of the Golan Heights (about 7 kilometers (4 #160;miles) away), and Israeli towns and settlements that it overlooks below, such as Qiryat Shemona.The area is 14 km (9 #160;miles) in length, and averages 2.5 km (2 #160;miles) in width, coming to about 25 square km (10 square miles). Altitudes range from 150 to 1,880 meters (490–6,170 #160;feet).Contents1 Summary of the current dispute2 List of Shebaa Farms3 Background (1923-2000)3.1 The French Mandate through the Six Day War (1923–67)3.2 UN Resolution 242 (1967)3.3 Coastal Road massacre, Operation Litani, and UN Resolution 425 (1978–2000)4 The current dispute4.1 Lebanons claim4.1.1 Lebanese media reaction4.2 Syrian position4.3 UN position4.4 Israeli position4.5 US position4.6 Other reactions5 Miscellanous6 References7 External links[edit]Summary of the current disputeThe area referred to as Shebaa Farms was captured by Israel from Syria during the Six Day War in 1967, which did not involve Lebanon. Israel considers the Shebaa Farms to be part of the Golan Heights,[1] and extended Israeli law to the region in 1981,[2] in an action that the Security Council of the United Nations declared to be null and void and without international legal effect in UN SCR 497. The controversy over the Farms first arose in 2000, as the United Nations certified that Israels withdrawal from Lebanon was complete. Israels annexation of the Shebaa Farms has been contested by Hezbollah (since May 2000), and advanced as a reason for its continued attacks on Israel after Israels unilateral withdrawal from Lebanon. On a fact-finding visit to the region Terje R?d-Larsen, the UN special envoy to the Middle East, cast doubt on the validity of the assertion that the Shebaa Farms were Lebanese territory seized by Israel during the 1967 war, pointing out that Lebanon was not a party to the 1967 war and that the 1923 Anglo-French demarcation and the 1949 Armistice line clearly designated the area as Syrian territory.[3]Members of the international diplomatic community have repeatedly requested that Syria and Lebanon take steps to determine the exact boundary between them in the Shebaa Farms region and elsewhere, including officially registering the demarcated border with the United Nations. President Assad of Syria has refused, however, to do so until Israeli troops withdraw.[edit]List of Shebaa FarmsShebaa Farms are 14 farms[citation #160;needed], these constitue:Marah El-Malol ãÑÇÍ ÇáãáæáBrachta ÈÑÎÊÜÜÇKafr Dorah ß
