Hizbullah goes on offensive in Shebaa Farms
Israeli warplanes bomb suspected resistance positions

Tension in the South took a dramatic turn for the worse Monday, with
Hizbullah guerrillas mounting a wide-scale attack on Israeli forces
occupying the Shebaa Farms and their leader pledging that the
international campaign against terrorism would not derail the course of
resistance.
“Today’s resistance operation is not a new thing since our land is still
occupied. Just as we never feared the noise of the fleets in the world,
we will not be scared now. We have to be more alert and prepared than
we were before Sept. 11,” Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, Hizbullah’s
secretary-general, vowed.
Hizbullah fighters fired rockets and mortar shells just after noon on
Israeli outposts in Rowsat Allam and Jabal Summaq which both overlook
the Shebaa Farms. The same posts were targeted during Hizbullah’s Oct.
3 attack. In a statement issued shortly after the attacks, Hizbullah
confirmed the operation, saying that after monitoring the movements of
Israeli soldiers in the outposts, the artillery unit of the Islamic
Resistance directed mortar fire on both outposts “scoring direct hits.”
Witnesses said that smoke rose from both Israeli posts. In retaliation,
Israeli fighters swooped over the border village of Kfar Shuba firing
missiles on its outskirts. Windows of several houses, including the
village’s public school, were shattered. Israeli fighters also fired at
least eight missiles on the hill of Saddana, just north of Kfar Shuba.
No casualties were reported.
Israeli artillery fired a barrage on a four-kilometer road that links
Kfar Shuba to Shebaa. At least four missiles targeted the road which
borders Birket Naqqar, the area where three Israeli soldiers were
captured by Hizbullah in October 2000. Some 30 heavy artillery shells
set fields afire near the Lebanese village of Halta.
Speaking just two hours after the attack during an Islamic Resistance
Wounded Day ceremony in Haret Hreik, Nasrallah ridiculed suggestions
received recently by the party through various “European and
non-European” channels that if the party were to abandon its resistance
operations and function solely as a political party, it would be removed
from US terrorism lists.
After paraphrasing the suggestions, Nasrallah said the party totally
rejected, “their criteria and standards,” saying that “those who ask us
to do this are asking us to give up our essence and be something else.”
Nasrallah added: “Let everyone be assured … that Hizbullah’s
convictions, ideology, jihad, course of action, resistance and
objectives will not change.
“When our brothers’ names are mentioned on the terrorist lists, we are
neither frightened nor worried,” he said, without explaining his
reservations on the lists posted by the United States in the wake of
last month’s attacks. Even though the US State Department has long
regarded Hizbullah as a terrorist organization, recent lists demanding
actions against individuals and groups linked to worldwide clandestine
acts have not included the party.
“We condemn the listing of some of these names as terrorists, not
because we are worried but because those who prepared terrorist lists do
not have the right to do so since they are the No. 1 and greatest
terrorists in the world” he said.
The Israeli raid is the first on Lebanon since July, when Israeli
fighters destroyed a Syrian Army radar base in the Bekaa in response to
a Hizbullah attack on Israeli armored patrols in the Shebaa Farms area.
Hizbullah in turn responded by launching a heavy bombardment against
every Israeli outpost in the Shebaa Farms, including the listening post
known as “radar” with its high-tech equipment.
