Shebaa, Lebanon
Shebaa (), also transliterated as Chebaa. is a town on the south-eastern tip of Lebanon. It has a largely Sunni Muslim population of 25,000 people.

The territory is currently disputed, in part from the failure of the French Mandate administrations and later the Lebanese and Syrian governments, to demarcate the border between Lebanon and Syria. Documents from the 1920s and 1930s indicate that inhabitants paid taxes to the Lebanese government.
