Collision Course in the North
(Ha'aretz) Amos Harel - The launchers of the Katyusha rockets that bombarded Kiryat Shmona and Shlomi on Tuesday were assumed to be Palestinian (and the Israel Air Force retaliated by attacking a base of Ahmed Jibril's Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine), but there is almost no doubt that the real perpetrator was Hizballah. Since Israel's withdrawal from Lebanon in May 2000, southern Lebanon is "Hizballah-land." No military operation goes ahead without its approval. The PFLP and Hizballah have a common patron, Syria.
