There is no doubt that the Hizbollah were to blame for Tuesday night's bombing outside an artillery position in southern Lebanon manned by Israel's proxy South Lebanon Army militia, writes Robert Fisk in Beirut. The six victims were all civilians, all of whom were working inside the occupation zone at Kawkawba to reinforce the revetment from which artillery shells have been fired at the Lebanese guerrillas.

The Hizbollah set their bomb to kill those who were helping the Israelis. All the dead were Shias, the same Muslim sect from which the Hizbollah draw most of their recruits.
