Good Fence

The Good Fence (Hebrew: הגדר הטובה, romanized: HaGader HaTova, Arabic: السياج الجيد, romanized: as-Siyaj al-Jayyid) was a term that referred to Israel's mountainous 129-kilometre (80 mi) northern border with Lebanon[1] during the period following the 1978 South Lebanon conflict, during the Lebanese Civil War.

From the 1948 establishment of the State of Israel until 1970, Israel's border with Lebanon was quiet to the point that farmers from the Israeli town of Metula farmed their lands in the Ayoun Valley inside Lebanon.

In 1970, after their expulsion from Jordan during Black September, the PLO began taking control over southern Lebanon.

Israel states that before 2000, approximately one-third of the ophthalmology patients at Western Galilee Hospital were Lebanese who crossed the border through the Good Fence and received treatment free of charge.
