The Hizbullah terrorist organization is claiming that several farms in the Upper Galilee in the north of Israel actually belong to Lebanon.

"Zionist terrorist organizations moved the border line from what was established in 1920 to a new line in 1923 which stripped Lebanon seven of its villages and 20 farms," declared Hizbullah "international relations official" Nawaf Moussawi.

The statement was issued Monday following a meeting with the Norwegian ambassador to Lebanon.  Hizbullah is represented in the Lebanese government by a number of ministers and other legislators.

Khaled Mashaal, the Damascus-based head of the Hamas terrorist organization's political bureau, also paid a rare visit to Beirut on Monday for meetings with Hizbullah officials, as well as with Lebanese President Michel Suleiman.

The Hizbullah spokesman maintained that the so-called "Blue Line" border between Israel and Lebanon created by the United Nations is "not a border line" but rather is only a "line setting withdrawal limits" from southern Lebanon when Israel pulled out of the country in 2000.

According to the Naharnet news agency, Moussawi also claimed that the Blue Line "strips Lebanon of millions of square meters from its national soil."

The terrorist added that his group was "committed to our rights in confronting Israeli violations. In fact, it is our duty to confront such aggressions." Hizbullah has complained numerous times about flyovers by Israel Air Force aircraft in Lebanese air space, which Israel uses to maintain its security surveillance of the area.
