Tel Aviv, April 22 (RHC)-- Israel is walling off an area in the Upper Galilee near the Lebanese border and the Israeli-occupied side of Golan, citing what it claims are security threats from Lebanon's Hezbollah movement.

Israel's Channel 2 News has aired footage of Israeli troops constructing a wall in Kibbutz Misgav Am near the Lebanese border by placing sections of concrete next to each other.  Israeli regime officials claim the wall is meant to prevent the potential entry of Hezbollah fighters to conduct attacks.

Israel waged two wars on Lebanon in 2000 and 2006.  About 1,200 Lebanese, most of them civilians, lost their lives during the 33-day war in the summer of 2006.  A senior Israeli military official warned that another war would be "devastating" to Lebanon as Tel Aviv would unleash all of its military capabilities on the Arab country.

The recent wall construction came two days after the Israeli army started a military drill in the northern occupied territories.
