South Lebanon Security Belt was an area near Lebanon's border with Israel. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) remained there after the South Lebanon Army's (SLA's) retreat during the years 1983-1985. This freed most of the Lebanese territory that were seized during Operation Peace for Galilee, the first Lebanon war, which began in 1982. The IDF retreated from the security belt to Israel's international border in 2000. Israel's stated purpose for the Security Zone was to create a space that separates the northern border towns and terrorists residing in Lebanon.

  • South Lebanon Security Belt was an area near Lebanon's border with Israel. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) remained there after the South Lebanon Army's (SLA's) retreat during the years 1983-1985. This freed most of the Lebanese territory that were seized during Operation Peace for Galilee, the first Lebanon war, which began in 1982. The IDF retreated from the security belt to Israel's international border in 2000. Israel's stated purpose for the Security Zone was to create a space that separates the northern border towns and terrorists residing in Lebanon. During the stay in the security belt, the IDF held many positions and supported the SLA. The SLA took over daily life in the security zone and controlled the prison in Khiam. In addition, United Nations (UN) forces and the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) were deployed to the security belt (from the end of Operation Litani in 1978). The strip was a few miles wide, and consisted of about 10% of the total territory of Lebanon, which housed about 150 villages and towns made up of Shiites, Maronites and Druze. In the central zone of the Strip was the Maronite town Marjayoun, which was the capital of the security belt. Residents remaining in the security zone had many contacts with Israel, many of whom have worked there and received various services from Israel.
