Extremist Israeli colonisers plant trees in Lebanon in land-grab attempt

A large gang of extremist Israeli colonisers has illegally crossed the ‘blue line’ dividing southern Lebanon and Israel to try to stake a claim to land that is not theirs. The far-right ‘Awaken the North’ group planted trees somewhere on the Lebanese side of the border and demanded the restart of Israeli settlement in Lebanon.

The group was then whisked back into Israel by the occupation military. Israeli authorities went through the motions of condemning the excursion, but no action against the racist group is likely.

In a deranged statement, one of the group’s leaders claimed its action was “moral” and “necessary” and that it was reclaiming “our land:”

This is right for security and it is a necessary step from a moral and historical point of view.

One of the group’s leaders said that the Israeli colonisers were “putting down roots” in “our country”, regurgitating Israeli ‘inheritance’ propaganda:

We came here today, to plant trees and put down roots in the soil of our country, regardless of the fences. The State of Israel must renew the settlement in Lebanon, this is historically correct, it is right from a security point of view, and it is right from a moral point of view. South Lebanon is a piece of the inheritance of our forefathers, where Jewish settlement existed for thousands of years. In order to ensure the security of the residents of the north, the construction of civilian settlements in southern Lebanon, near IDF posts, must be promoted.

If you look closely at the featured image, you’ll find the group has the Lebanese cedar in the centre of a Star of David as their logo. In the words of brother Omar from Four Lions: “I think you’re confused bro.”

Israel has bombed southern Lebanon daily, despite the supposed ‘ceasefire’ in place since the occupation’s 2024 terrorist attack using exploding pagers. These attacks have murdered dozens of civilians.
