In the published video of the incident, it is clear that a division of the Lebanese army equipped with "RPG" shells was passing by the "Mark4" Merkava tank, one of the most heavily fortified tanks in the world.

And the pioneers of the communication platforms celebrated the soldier's courage, which deserves a compliment, and considered it "an image of the true Independence Day," as Lebanon celebrated the 77th anniversary of its independence on Saturday.

Tweeters saluted the Lebanese soldier, and the act of resistance in Lebanon to the Israeli occupation, regardless of its source, while others said that the scene does not mean anything in reality, and it is just a depiction and nothing more.

These are the free people and the face of the nation ✌️✌️💪

The borders between Lebanon and Israel are experiencing tension from time to time, whether between the Lebanese army and the occupation army, or between the latter and the Lebanese Hezbollah.

In June 2020, an Israeli army force crossed the technical tape between Lebanon and Israel during training exercises it was conducting in the settlement of "Meskaf Am" in front of the town of Adaisse.

As a result, the Lebanese army mobilized its forces, and introduced a number of mechanisms to confront the Israeli move, and the situation did not develop to the point of a confrontation between the two parties.

The toughness of this soldier in the Lebanese army, with his modest weapon RBG, against this Israeli tank, because he knows that behind him the men of the resistance are waiting for the command from him to burn it with the cornet and whoever is inside ..


This is # Independence Day!

The United Nations drew up the Blue Line after the withdrawal of Israeli forces from southern Lebanon in 2000, to confirm this withdrawal. However, although this line was not strictly observed by the official borders, Israel tried more than once to violate it, which created a state of tension on both sides of it.

It is noteworthy that indirect negotiations between Lebanon and Israel began last month to demarcate the maritime borders, under the auspices of the United Nations and American mediation.

The negotiations followed a dispute between the two countries over a region in the Mediterranean rich in oil and gas. Four rounds have been held to date at the headquarters of UNIFIL forces in the Naqoura area (southern Lebanon).
