OCCUPIED JERUSALEM, (PIC)-- Israeli occupation forces (IOF) started building a wall along the borders between Palestine occupied in 1948 and Lebanon on Monday.

AFP quoted an IOF spokeswoman as saying that the construction started after coordination with the UNIFIL and Lebanon.

She said that the one kilometer long wall would take a few weeks to be completed with the aim of preventing “friction” at the borders.

The Israeli radio said that the wall, which would be few meters in height, targets blocking shooting from Lebanon into Metulla settlement.

OCCUPIED JERUSALEM

Jews have occupied Jerusalem for 3000 years.

Hebrew Bible

Then Solomon began to build the house of the LORD at Jerusalem in mount Moriah, where the Lord appeared unto David his father, in the place that David had prepared in the threshingfloor of Ornan the Jebusite.

Eminent Historian Sir Martin Gilbert, Author of 10 Books on Jewish and Middle East History and 3 Books on Jerusalem ...

Jerusalem became the capital of the first Jewish kingdom in 1004 BC, over 3000 years ago. With the brief exception of the Crusader period, no other non-Jewish ruling power of Jerusalem made the city a capital but it was consistently a capital for the Jews. Driven into partial exile by Nebuchadnezzar in 586 BC, the Jews returned fifty years later and rebuilt Jerusalem as their capital. It was their capital, too, under the Maccabees. The unity of the city achieved in 1967, then, was more than a quirk of military geography. It was the fulfillment of unbroken historical longings.
