Lebanon Protests Israel's Border Wall, UN Involved
Lebanon is upset because Israel is building a wall along their border that goes into Lebanese territory.
The UN is involved because they have a line drawn on a map that shows where the border should be, and the wall goes beyond that line.
Israel says the wall is for security, but Lebanon says it's a violation of their land.
The UN peacekeepers in the area have asked Israel to take the wall down.
