Introduction
The “Israeli” occupation troops along with their allied militia launched the worst aggressions for several weeks. In all, the “Israeli” gunners fired more than 150 missiles at the areas of Iqleem Al-Toffah and western sector of the “Israeli” occupied zone. Also, the “Israeli” war jets fired around thirty air-to-ground rockets in eleven separate passes over the same area. Three civilians and a freelance photographer were wounded whereas a number of houses were damaged as well.

In retaliation for these ferocious “Israeli” aggressions and marking the Martyr’s Day, the Islamic Resistance (IR) men attacked about twenty three outposts stretching from Kfar Houna in the northern sector to the “Israeli”-manned radar base in Bayada on the coast. The IR attacks resulted in wounding four collaborators as the “Israeli” proxy militia acknowledged.

President Assad: Resistance may continue after “Israeli” unilateral withdrawal…(4)
“Syrian President Hafez al- Assad said the Resistance will continue following the “Israeli” occupation forces from south Lebanon.

“Al-Hayat newspaper said al-Assad told French Foreign Minister Hubert Vedrine that Damascus will not prevent "Israel" from withdrawing but Resistance will stay in the face of the occupation.

“The “Israeli” occupation's radio that rushed to air the news said the French diplomacy's sources in Damascus said the Syrian leadership believes that Barak is maneuvering and will, at the last moment, adjust his plans to withdraw the occupation army unilaterally from Lebanon.

Some media have been marketing the “Israeli” threat that told Vedrine that Barak is ready to launch a largescale aggression against Lebanon if "Israel" is attacked following the withdrawal.

“As he concluded his visit to Damascus, Vedrine said the settlement process' parties are not yet ready to resume talks”.
