1989 description by Jim Muir

“The village of Shebaa, in the Aqrub foothills of Mount Hermon, is at the heart of the affair. It lies both within the ‘security zone’ and in the Norbatt area. It is a Sunni village (in an area where Shi’ites and Druze predominate) and its tough, independent-minded people have for centuries made much of their living out of smuggling” Jim Muir, Middle East International #346 17 March 1989. I was struck by the “for centuries”. Padres Hana (talk) 11:36, 12 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
