Confrontations continue in south Lebanon
Lebanon-Israel, Military, 11/17/1999

The Israeli occupation forces on Tuesday continued their attacks against areas adjacent to the occupied part of south Lebanon.

Lebanese security sources said that two Israeli helicopters carried out mopping-up operations against the valleys between Majdal Zoune and Yater, using machine guns. The mopping up operations coincided with heavy Israeli artillery bombardment to the woods of Hadatha, Sujoud mountain and Abu Rekab.

In retaliation a Lebanese resistance group attacked an Israeli on-foot patrol in the surroundings of Kafer Houneh, using machine guns and rockets.

In a statement, the Lebanese resistance said that direct hits were scored.

Meanwhile, members of the April Understanding Monitoring Committee met on Tuesday at the general headquarters of UNIFIL in the Lebanese border town of al-Naqoura. The committee will discuss several Lebanese complaints on the Israeli attacks against Lebanese civilians as well as several other Israeli complaints.

Sources close to the group said that it will discuss 16 Lebanese complaints over damaging 24 houses along the confrontation borders in south Lebanon from Majdal Zoune to al-Tuffah district.
