Lebanon geography

A Middle Eastern country, Lebanon is demarcated to the west by the Mediterranean (Coast: 225 kilometres) and to the east by the Syro-African Depression. Lebanon borders Syria for 375 kilometres to the north and to the west and Israel for 79 kilometres to the south. The border with Israel has been approved by the United Nations, although a small piece of land called "Shebaa farms" located in the Golan Heights is still occupied by Israel, who claims that it is actually Syrian land. The Lebanese resistance claims "Shebaa farms" as Lebanese land and occasionally launches attacks against Israeli positions within it. In addition, Syria maintains an army of approximately 40,000 troops in Lebanon. Lebanese supporters of Syria claim this is a legitimate presence as it was requested by the Lebanese government at the outset of the civil war in 1975. Opponents of Syria claim the Syrian presence is a quasi occupation by a foreign power.
