STEALING SOIL AND WATER KurtNimmo: "UNIFIL spokesman Alexander Ivanko told CNN Israeli troops still control the border village of Ghajar, supposedly until IDF, UNIFIL and the Lebanese army come to an agreement regarding the security arrangements in the area, that is to say the Israelis will stay until the threat of Lebanese rock throwers abates. Israeli occupation forces have completed the separation of the once-Syrian town of al-Ghajar on Saturday from the rest of the Lebanese occupied territory of Sheba'a Farms, changing the town into a military station, surrounded with barbed wires, trenches and piles of soil, reports al-Jazeera. The objective seems to place the town under absolute Israeli control. According to witnesses in the South, Israel also continues to steal Lebanon's water, and is altering the Blue Line and shoveling earth to transport to the Israeli side of the border, the Daily Star reported on September 25. In addition, Israel is adjusting the Blue Line in its favor. Lebanon has filed a complaint with the UN and UNIFIL about Israeli alterations of the Blue Line in which hundreds of square meters of Lebanese territory were 'added' to the Israeli side. UNIFIL 'is looking into the matter', a Lebanese Army source said. Convoys of Israeli trucks are transporting Lebanese agricultural soil over the border to Israeli settlements and Israeli soldiers are building a water duct to carry water from the Wazzani river to Israel." 11:59:10 AM
