Hizbullah vows to keep up attacks on israeli … (1)
Hizbullah officials vowed over the weekend that there would be no halt to resistance operations until the Israeli Army departs Lebanon.

Israeli Premier Ehud Barak’s series of statements last week in which he repeated his pre-electoral pledge to withdraw the troops by next summer was dismissed by Hizbullah as “blackmail” and propaganda.

Hizbullah secretary-general Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah scoffed at US calls for restraint from the resistance in the south.
“The answer of Lebanon, Syria and the resistance is clear in this respect … the resistance will carry on as long as there are occupied territories. The operations will not stop regardless of conflict, the deaths of our fighters or by repeated (Israeli) attacks. The operations are the only sword to liberate the land,” he said at a religious ceremony in Beirut on Sunday.
Nabatieh MP Mohammed Raad, the head of Hizbullah’s politburo, said that Barak’s vow to withdraw was blackmail. He added that the Israeli premier was wrong if he believed he could split the joint Lebanese and Syrian stand in the peace process with “this last shot.”

“The next stage in the conflict will be critical with much biting of nails and pulling of strings rather than open war,” Raad said.

Sheikh Yazbek : No way but to fight “Israeli” occupation forces … (2)
Hizbullah’s members and supporters took the martyr Ashraf Habib Kheireddine to his final resting place and buried him at the cemetery of his town Timneen El-tahta , Sheikh Mohammad Yazbek, Head of the Bloc of the Faithfulness to Islamic Resistance in addition to a number of religions, political and social dignitaries were among the procession.

Yazbek delivered a speech in which he stressed that the man’s dignity in Lebanon is preserved by virtue of the martyrs blood, adding that America is under illusion if it thought that it can subdue the peoples for the tyranny will come to end finally.

He assured that the track of Jihad is long and there is no any option but to fight the “Israeli” enemy.

Shiekh Yezbek decried Sharam Sheikh Accord assuring that one of its goals is to exert pressure on Lebanon and Syria in order to halt the resistance activities.

IR injured one Israeli agent … (3)
 An Israeli agent was shot and wounded at the Kfar Tibnit crossing point on Saturday evening by a Hizbullah sniper.
Hizbullah said that the militiaman was seen falling from the ramparts of the outpost beside the swing gate leading into the occupation zone. The militiamen was taken to Marjayoun hospital.

Among them were: Riad Fares El-Bahri, Qassem Khamis, Suheil Mahmoud Younes, Adel Mahmoud Younes, Afif Jamil Younes, Majid Al-Choufi, Talib Hamed Abou Saif, Nadim Salloum Al-Choufi, Ehssan Fayez Daaibes, Talih Abdallah Al-Choufi, Nimr Abdallah Al-Choufi, Mazen Toufik Osman, Diab Hassan Diab, Karim Hassan Diab, Kayed Hassan Diab, Hussein Salman Diab, Hassan Youssef El-Bat’hish, Ghassan Youssef El-Bat’hish, Fayez Nimr Al-Chirqawi, Bachir Joudih, Yehia Abou Samar, Jamil Youssef Darbih, Mohanna Mohmmad Darbih, Farid Hamad Darbih, Nassih Youssef Barakat, Anwar Mahmoud Darbih, Mahmoud Nayef Chamich, Taher Nayef Chamich, Charif Mohanna  Darbih, Izzat Qassem Chahine, Hassib Fares Khattar, Mohammad Ahmad Darbih, Majid Mohanna Darbih, Charif Mohammad Khair and Salih Suleiman Ghasham.

Israeli are cautions nowadays … (5)
 The Israelis still appear to be restricting the use of artillery fire against populated areas in retaliation for resistance attacks or as pre-emptive bombardments. Israelis celebrated the Jewish New Year over the weekend and the army was probably anxious not to provoke a repetition of Hizbullah’s Katyusha assault against northern Galilee 12 days ago. The rocket attack was retaliation for the killing of two civilians in an Israeli bombardment of Lebbaya in the western Bekaa. Random shelling by the Israelis often causes civilian casualties, prompting Hizbullah to respond with cross-border Katyusha attacks.

Military Operations…(6)
The Islamic Resistance (IR) team of martyrs Abdel-Karim Dakdouk and Hassan Aqil attacked, at 22:10, enemy movements inside Blat position with the rocket-propelled grenades scoring direct hits.

Also, the IR group of martyrs Qassem Qaoun and Abdo Agha Zada attacked, at 23:00, Dabsheh outpost, after observing enemy movements, with the suitable arms chalking up direct hits.

Forty minutes later, the IR team of martyrs Abbas Deeb Naameh and Youssef Abdallah Nasrallah targeted enemy movements on the road leading to Bir Kallab outpost. Using the machine guns and rocket-propelled grenades, the militants were able to score direct and definite hits.
