So, the guarding groups were backed up by roadside bombs in order to enable them to dominate, militarily, on their area of deployment and to hit as great as possible the enemy soldiers ". " This was the case of third guarding group of Ansarieh. So at 1:45 am, the members of this guarding group, about 2 km from the seashore and 100 m from Ansarieh itself, noticed remarkable motions which indicated to a probable landing since these motions came after flying the Israeli helicopters over Ansarieh and the neighboring villages ". " These motions became closer and it was not possible to identify exactly the intruders until they reached to 20 or 25 m from our point. Then and in addition to the uniforms and talking in Hebrew, we knew, precisely, that they were Israelis ". " After they had arrived in the mined spot, we blew up the six roadside bombs simultaneously ". " From the first moment, the Israelis were terribly shocked. The casualties estimated 20 to 25 between dead and wounded men. The guarding members divided into two groups. The first group fought face-to-face the survived four or five soldiers. During this clash, two of the first group militants were, slightly, injured.

" At that moment, the helicopters blitzed the area with rapid firing 'chain' guns and rockets ". " Meanwhile, the anti-aircrafts of Islamic Resistance and Lebanese Army were firing, intensively, at the Israeli enemy ".
