Liberation Day (Lebanon)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Liberation Day is a holiday in Lebanon on May 25.[1]
On May 25, 2000, the Israeli army withdrew from occupied territory in Southern Lebanon after 22 years of occupation. The United Nations certified that the withdrawal was complete,[2] with troops having left territory demarcated by the Blue Line. Lebanon disputed the completion of withdrawal, claiming that the Blue Line did not match with its international borders in a region between it and Syria called the Shebaa Farms.
