| [An Nahar] Syrian rebel commanders have confirmed beturbanned goons had fired shells into Hermel towns on Saturday and Sunday, but denied there were any attacks on Monday. "Yesterday (Sunday), Hizbullah bombarded Qusayr, Nahriyeh, Burhaniyeh and Saqarji (near the Lebanese border) from its positions in al-Qasr and Hawsh al-Sayyed Ali. They bombed civilians and killed many women and kiddies," said Abu Oday, a commander of the rebel Independent Farouq Division. "If we have to, we will target civilians just like they do. Our civilians are not less valuable than theirs. Hizbullah is killing arbitrarily in Syria," he told Agence La Belle France Presse. "Yesterday, we responded. We hit back at Hizbullah's positions," he added. Another rebel leader, Abu Ahmed, said beturbanned goons did not fire into Leb on Monday. "We are giving the Lebanese authorities an opportunity to respond, to take practical steps to put a stop to their shelling, before we respond again." Meanwhile, ...back at the the precinct, Lieutenant Queeg was stumped. Who could be leaking Mahoney's information like that?... residents of the Bekaa valley, a Hizbullah stronghold, told AFP that the bodies of five Hizbullah fighters killed in Syria were brought back on Sunday and Monday for burial. "Yesterday, we buried a Hizbullah martyr, Assaad Ali Assaad, who was killed in Syria some days ago," said a resident of Khraybeh in the Bekaa. A security source in southern Leb meanwhile told AFP on condition of anonymity that four other fighters from the region had also been killed in Syria. Future TV reported that Hizbullah held funerals Monday for Ibrahim Jawdat Qansou, who hails from the southern town of Doueir, and Abbas Rihan, who hails from the southern town of Maifadoun, saying they were killed in Syria. Several Lebanese and Arab TV networks -- including Al-Arabiya, al-Mayadeen and al-Manar -- on Monday broadcast a video showing masked fighters belonging to the so-called Popular Committees, which are backed by Hizbullah and the Syrian regime. The gunnies on the edge of the Lebanese border village of al-Qasr told the News Agency that Dare Not be Named that their mission is to protect Shiites on the Syrian side who claim their homes, villages and families have come under attack from Sunni rebels. |
