In reciprocated bombardment following the assassination of a resistance security official; two Israeli soldiers, one Hizbullah fighter were killed
Lebanon-Israel, Politics, 7/21/2004

Two Israeli soldiers were killed in an attack launched by Hizbullah fighters at an Israeli military position in the western sector of the borders between Lebanon and Israel. One member of the Lebanese Hizbullah party was killed in one Israeli air bombardment by two missiles against what is thought to be positions for the party in the outskirts of Eita al-Chaab border town.

Israeli military sources said that fighters from the Hizbullah party opened their fire at a base for the Israeli army in the western Galilee near Zarit town. The sources added the Israeli forces retaliated by firing one tank shelling at a position for the Hizbullah party in south Lebanon.

The new development on the front between the Hizbullah party and Israel comes one day after the assassination of Ghaleb Hawali, one of the security leaders in the party by blowing up his car in Mu'wad area in the southern suburb of Beirut.

Nasrullah held Israel responsible. He said that " the fully responsible side for the assassination of Awali is the Zionist enemy, either by hands of Israelis who sneaked to Lebanon by false passports or at the hands of hireling Lebanese hands," noting that it is the same side which assassinated Ali Saleh in 2003.

Worthy mentioning that the Lebanese judiciary accused a network composed of one woman and four men of spying for Israel and planning for the assassination of Nasrullah as well as other leaderships in the party and forming a gang to commit criminal acts and selling damaging items -- made in Israel -- in the country ( Lebanon).

The Israeli prime minister Ariel Sharon said that the leader of the Hizbullah party is on the list of assassination.
