Lebanon-Israel, Military, 3/27/2000

The Israeli occupation forces expanded their aggressions against populated towns and villages in south Lebanon, and heavy casualties were inflicted as a result.

Lebanese security forces said the Israeli position in Rashaf fired a missile on Sunday against the car of Lebanese citizen Hussein Hassan while heading from Serbin town with his family to Yater town. No human casualties were reported.

The occupation forces also bombarded from its positions in the eastern sector the southern outskirts of the western Bekaa and the al-Rayhan woods and the surrounding of al-Qatranah town, Arab Salim and Kafer Rumman.

The Lebanese sources said the Israeli artillery concentrated on the premises of the Lebanese Red Cross in the city of al-Nabatiyeh in occupied south Lebanon and the bombardment resulted in burning a car for the society of the Doctors Without Frontiers and damaging in cars of the Lebanese Red Cross and other sedan cars.

The Lebanese Red Cross denounced the Israeli bombardment and described it, in a statement, as a violation of the April Understanding and international norms and charters.

The chairman of the office of the International Committee of the Red Cross in Lebanon on Sunday visited the premises of the Lebanese Red Cross. He denounced the Israeli attack and called for neutralizing humanitarian sites and the need to honor the logo of the Red Cross and the Red Crescent.

In retaliation, the Lebanese resistance on Sunday afternoon attacked the positions of the Israeli occupation forces and pro-Israel South Lebanon Army militiamen in Kalab and al-Dohour al-Kassara areas in the occupied part of south Lebanon.

In a statement, the Lebanese resistance said a group of its men heavily machine-gunned and rocketed the Beer Kalaab position and destroyed its fortifications.
