Introduction
Hizbullah’s Secretary General H.E. Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah asserted that because there are wounded and dead “Israelis” being carried back to "Israel" we hear such calls for withdrawal, adding, the US is responsible for any Israeli aggression that could be committed against Lebanon and its people.

Meanwhile, the "Israeli" daily Maariv reported that "Israel’s" Army is at work on plans for a withdrawal from South Lebanon within the next ten months whether a peace deal is reached with Beirut and Damascus or not.

However, the journalist Cosette Ibrahim who was arrested by "Israel’s" allied militia in occupied Southern Lebanon at her home village last week has been admitted to Marjeyoun Hospital for treatment after she was tortured.

Hizbullah’s secretary general: The Resistance is the only liberating sword for Lebanon…(1)
"The Islamic Resistance held a ceremony for the remembrance of the martyr Sayyed Ahmed Ibrahim Fadlallah which was attended by Hizbullah’s secretary general Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, the MP Nazih Mansour, the former MP Ali Ammar and Sayyed Ali Fadlallah who was representing his father Sayyed Mohamed Hussein Fadlallah. "Sayyed Nasrallah said that what is needed to liberate southern Lebanon and the western Beqaa is not just words of refusal but what is needed is the increase of the resistance, adding that the calls from within “Israel” for the withdrawal is the result of the resistance. Because there are wounded and dead Zionists being carried back to “Israel” we hear such calls for withdrawal. And that is why we see delegations that come and go to Lebanon from all over the world, not only the Americans following the visit of Albright, but we will soon witness more faces that will come and go that will try and serve the Zionist cause.

"He added that “ they come to us these days to try and achieve that by promises of peace that can be gained from the peace talks, they say that this is a historic chance to achieve peace. They talk of all that just to have the opportunity to put a hold on the resistance in the south but the Lebanese and Syrian answer is quite clear in this matter. And I say in this ceremony that as long as there is an inch of our land that is under occupation the resistance will continue”.

"He also said “ we must confirm to all who can hear that the US is responsible for any Zionist aggression that is committed on Lebanon and the people of Lebanon no matter how small that aggression may be. No Lebanese should believe that the American administration is concerned with peace in this region, or that they are just. We must always remind people that the US is the permanent “Israeli” partner".

"ISRAELI" PRESS REPORTS SAY ARMY PLANNING WITHDRAWAL FROM SOUTHERN Lebanon…(2)
""Israeli" press reports, said the "Israeli" army is working on plans for a withdrawal from southern Lebanon within the next 10 months. More in this report.

" According to the "Israeli" daily Maariv, the "Israeli" army is at work on plans for a withdrawal from southern Lebanon within the next 10 months whether or not a peace deal is reached with Beirut and Damascus - who coordinate their negotiating positions. The "Israeli" Prime Minister Ehud Barak has pledged to withdraw all "Israeli" troops from Lebanon by July 7,2000 - the one year anniversary of his election. The daily added the army has also begun exercises simulating a withdrawal from the Syrian Golan Heights in case a peace accord is reached with Syria. It said intelligence and logistics units were taking part in the mock withdrawal which began several weeks ago and is aimed at finding a way to ensure continued surveillance of Syria without any military presence in the Golan. Officials are also reportedly looking at possible sites for the relocation of bases and training camps from the strategic plateau under orders of Barak who also acts as defense minister"

FEMALE JOURNALIST SAID BRUTALLY TORTURED BY "ISRAELI" OCCUPATION FORCES…(4)
"A journalist who was arrested by "Israel's" allied militia in occupied southern Lebanon at her home village inside the occupied zone last week has been admitted to Marjeyoun hospital for treatment after she was tortured, Lebanese security sources said Monday. "She was brutally tortured at Khiam jail and needed treatment," the sources said. Cosette Ibrahim, 21, who works for the daily Al Liwaa, was arrested at her hometown of Rmeish in the western sector of the zone "Israel" occupies last week. Her brother, Khalil Ibrahim, reported her arrest to the chairman of Lebanon's News Reporters Association, Milhem Karam, saying she was taken by "Israeli" troops to the notorious Khiam detention center. Karam described Ibrahim's arrest as an "uncivilized and non- humanitarian act by occupation forces, especially since she has committed no offense beyond her professional coverage of events in the border zone". A relative of Ibrahim who refused to give his name said "Israel's" allied militia and "Israel" accused the female journalist of "collaborating" with the Lebanese army by giving them information about "Israeli" activities inside the zone. He added that another journalist, Joseph Ibrahim, who also works at Al Liwaa, has also been detained inside the zone. The relative did not indicate whether Joseph was related to Cosette. Jospeh Ibrahim, 25, was taken to Khiam on charges of "collaborating" with Hizbullah, the main party battling "Israeli" occupation forces in the south. The relative told Deutsche Presse-Agentur dpa that they have dispatched messages to the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), Amnesty International and Reporters Sans Frontieres to exert pressure on the "Israeli" government to gain Ibrahim's release. Along with Jospeh Ibrahim, several Lebanese men were arrested in Rmeish and taken to Khiam prison too, the sources said. Maltreatment and torture are systematic and documented at Khiam. Some 181 Lebanese men and women, among them a 70-year-old woman, and a number of young children, are still detained there".
