BEIRUT, Lebanon (AP) - The largely dormant Lebanese-Israeli front erupted in fighting Monday, with Hezbollah guerrillas shelling Israeli positions in a disputed area and Israel retaliating with airstrikes.

The escalation, the first since January, came amid outrage in the Arab world after Israeli missiles killed Sheik Ahmed Yassin, founder of the Islamic militant group Hamas, earlier Monday.

Lebanese officials said Hezbollah guerrillas fired rockets and mortar shells at Israeli military outposts inside the disputed Chebaa Farms area near the borders of Lebanon, Syria and Israel.

In a statement to The Associated Press, Hezbollah linked the attack to Yassin's assassination, saying it attacked "all Zionist enemy positions in the Chebaa Farms, using direct weapons and rockets and scoring direct hits."

1. Wait until the Likudniks.....

start claiming that these are acts of "terrorism". Israel like to
claim that its "at war", therefore there is no such thing as
"terrorism".
Their double-standards eventually will catch up with them.

NT!

3. I'd bet money on it...

...that our taxes paid for that missle!

That was one of the stupidest things I've seen a country do...knowing very well that killing this one cripple would enrage thousands (but then again, maybe that's what Sharon wanted all along)

8. You Know, I Never Question A Decision From The Mods.

to move or lock a post, but this is ridiculous. This is important news that may have repercussions outside of the ME. Are we not allowed to know what happens over there without visiting I/P?
