From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Fatima's gate (also Fatima Gate) is a border crossing between Lebanon and Israel. On the Lebanese side, it is close to the village of Kfar Kila.[1] On the Israeli side, it is west of Metulla. The crossing has been closed since the Israeli withdrawal from Lebanon at the end of the 1982-2000 South Lebanon conflict, and in the summer of 2000 was the site of many anti-Israeli demonstrations and cross-border stone throwing by pro-Hezbollah Lebanese.[2]
