Israeli Jet Fighters Bomb Guerrillas

Israeli jet fighters fired rockets at suspected guerrilla positions in southern Lebanon in two raids, security officials said. The first, shortly after dawn, came amid fighting between Israeli forces and guerrillas of the Hezbollah militia. At least three guerrillas were killed in the fighting, the officials said. Israeli fighter-bombers returned later to fire two more rockets at the same area, the officials said. No casualties were reported in that attack. Security sources said the firefight started when Israeli forces spotted guerrillas trying to infiltrate Israel’s self-proclaimed “security zone.” The Israelis opened fire, touching off a 30-minute exchange involving machine guns and rocket-propelled grenades. The Israelis then called in air support.
