}} and on the Israeli side, it is west of Metula. The crossing has been closed since the Israeli withdrawal from Lebanon at the end of the 1982-2000 South Lebanon conflict, and since the summer of 2000 has been the site of many anti-Israeli demonstrations and cross-border stone throwing from Lebanon to Israel.[https://www.un.org/depts/DPKO/Missions/unifil/n0121809.pdf#search=%22fatima%20gate%22 Report of the Secretary-General on the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon]
