Lebanese security sources said on Wednesday that the occupation forces and their agents closed the main roads to Arnoun town in the occupied part of south Lebanon after it opened a very narrow road that citizens can go through and prevented them from taking their personal belongings.
On Tuesday an Israeli bulldozer demolished the old Beit Yahoun crossing which was closed in September after the killing of the official in charge of the crossing, SLA militiaman Fawzi al-Saghir, in an operation carried out by the Lebanese resistance against the crossing.
Meanwhile, the International Committee of the Red Cross on Wednesday withdrew the bodies of three Lebanese resistance men who were killed during confrontations with the Israeli occupation forces in August in the area situated between Shaqra and Houla towns in the central sector of south Lebanon.
The search for the bodies of the three resistance men was carried out by UNIFIL members in the presence of representatives from UNIFIL's leadership, Lebanese army officers and Lebanese resistance officials.
Meantime the ICRC on Wednesday afternoon recovered the body of a fourth Lebanese resistance man during an inspection campaign for the bodies of six resistance men who were killed in confrontations with the Israeli occupation forces inside the occupied part of south Lebanon.
A source at the ICRC said that the bodies were of Hussein Mahmoud Qabalan from Meis al-Jabal, Ahmad Abdul Hussein Fouani from Houla town; Ridwan Muhey eddin Duga from the Riyaq town. The source added that the withdrawal process of the three bodies lasted for five hours.
Later the ICRC withdrew the body of Yousef Ahmad Badah from Beit Leif town who was killed in the confrontation with the Israeli occupation forces in the surrounding of Badaa occupied town on November 24, 1997 (more than two years ago).
