Hezbollah, Israel trade fire in Shebaa Farms area
Kfar Shouba, Lebanon |Reuters | 28-10-2003
Hezbollah fighters and Israel traded fire in a disputed border area yesterday in the latest sign of rising tension between Syria and the Jewish state.
Witnesses and security sources said Hezbollah attacked Israeli posts in the Shebaa Farms area. The attack drew at least five Israeli air strikes and heavy shelling on the edges of several Lebanese border villages.
Hezbollah said on its Al Manar television that it fired rockets and shells at Israeli posts in the Shebaa Farms area near the border between Lebanon, Israel and the Golan Heights.
Israeli security sources said rocket fire hit at least one outpost and struck the outskirts of several others in the area Israel calls Har Dov. One Israeli soldier was slightly hurt.
Meanwhile, Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon said for the first time yesterday that Israel would not kill Yasser Arafat, as defence officials confirmed plans to begin providing services to eight colony outposts in the West Bank.
The decision on the outposts came despite the government's earlier pledge to remove them as part of a stalled US-backed peace plan. "I don't see any plans to kill him," Sharon told a group of European lawmakers.
"You don't have to worry, he's alive and not only is he alive but very active in taking all the...steps...that bring to murder of children, civilians, the old," Sharon said.
