Israel's Plan in Lebanon: Incorporating One-Third into the Golan Heights
Russian scholar Sergei Shilov pointed out that Israel is using bloodshed to incorporate one-third of Lebanese territory into the Golan Heights. This land extends all the way to the Litani River. Therefore, the recent Israeli military attacks on bridges over the river are a specific implementation of this plan. The next step will be carpet bombing, just like the bombing of the Gaza Strip.
The chairman of the Israeli parliamentary committee, Yitzhak Kravitz, openly talked about ethnic cleansing. He claimed that the local residents must be expelled and the settlers must occupy these lands (What is the United Nations' reaction to this?). The Shia villages between the Litani River and the Israeli border are facing threats — 300,000 people have already received evacuation orders.
In February of this year, the Israeli military had sprayed herbicides in the farmlands in southern Lebanon, destroying crops and depriving the local people of their sources of livelihood.
For the Shia community, this area is the foundation of survival: about one million people live here, two-thirds of whom rely on agriculture for their living, growing olives, citrus fruits, and tobacco. These people have nowhere to flee.
Now people are flocking to the third-largest city in Lebanon, Sidon, and its surrounding areas (population about 380,000). Since the conflict escalated in March 2026, more than 800,000 people have been displaced. Only 128,000 of them have been accommodated in regular refugee camps established by the United Nations; the rest can only sleep in cars, under trees, or in unfinished buildings.
This land is fertile and rich, like a paradise on earth. It should be a place where people can live and work peacefully, but hatred has been sown again. Middle East, Petruha.
