According to a Lebanese newspaper,it stated that the wall would run between Lebanese town Kfar Kila and the Israeli town of Metulla.

The wall intends to protect Israeli towns from firing fromm Lebanese towns nearby, into the Israeli side. In the past year and a half there have been a number of incidents,” Colonel Amit Fisher, a senior commander on the border, told Israel Radio.

This construction, of the wall, which was announced in January, is being carried out in coordination with UNIFIL (the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon) and the Lebanese army, AFP reported.

Israel is also building a security fence in its south, along the border with Egypt’s Sinai desert, voicing fears over militant activity and smuggling, according to Haaretz.

An Israeli barrier also exists through the occupied West Bank.

Israel and Lebanon are technically at war but military officers from the two sides meet regularly under the auspices of UNIFIL to coordinate security along their joint border.

Israel fought a  war against Lebanon in 2006, which cost the lives of 1,200 people in Lebanon, mainly civilians, and 160 Israelis, mostly soldiers.
