MP Hashem, Protesters Hoist Lebanon's Flag on Israeli-Erected Fence

Development and Liberation parliamentary bloc MP Qassem Hashem and Shebaa town residents hoisted on Tuesday the Lebanese flag on a barbed wire fence that was newly erected by Israel, the state-run National News Agency reported.

The lawmaker and several of the town's residents erected the flag near Jabal Sadana, it said.

Hashem and the demonstrators reached the area in the morning to protest the works carried out by the Israeli army in the area and the installation of the fence.

Earlier, an Israeli infantry unit backed by military vehicles deployed along the border with Lebanon in the area of the Shebaa Farms all the way to Jabal Sadana.
