Shebaa (Arabic: شبعا, French: Chebaa) is a town on the south-eastern tip of Lebanon. It has a largely Sunni Muslim population of 25,000 people. It is situated at an altitude of approximately 1,700 m (5,600 ft) above sea level, spreading across two steep rocky mountainsides.[1] It lies adjacent to the contested Shebaa farms—which sit between the town and the Golan Heights.[2] Before 1967, residents of Shebaa farmed in the disputed Shebaa farms territory.[3]
