Israeli occupation troops continued attacks against south Lebanon on Wednesday. Lebanese security sources said that Israeli artillery shelled the area surrounding al-Zahrani river with mortars, while Israeli warplanes flew over al-Tuffah and al-Nabatieh districts.

On Tuesday, the Israeli occupation forces demolished a Lebanese-owned house in the occupied town of al-Tiri.

Meanwhile, an Israeli military spokesman admitted that two Israeli soldiers were wounded in the occupied Zone of south Lebanon. The spokesman added a charge was detonated by remote control on Tuesday when an armored military patrol drove over a land mine near Barachit village in the occupied zone of south Lebanon. The explosion resulted in the destruction of the armored vehicle and the wounding of two Israeli soldiers.

Lebanese resistance forces on Wednesday prevented Israeli hostile moves in the district surrounding Sujoud by using rockets and machine guns. Simultaneously another group of resistance fighters attacked Israeli troops in the surroundings of Barachit in the western sector in south Lebanon, inflicting direct hits.

Israel yesterday destroyed the house of judge Mustafa Ozeimi located between Beit Yahoun in the occupied strip of south Lebanon, according to a Lebanese security source.
