Arab and Israeli Attacks Kill 7

Guerrilla and Israeli attacks killed seven people in the highest single-day toll this year, just days before elections in Israel that could alter the course of the Israeli occupation of southern Lebanon. The deadliest attack occurred along a road near Jezzine, north of Marjayoun, the main city in the occupied southern strip. A roadside bomb exploded, killing four people. No one claimed responsibility, but the attack bore guerrilla hallmarks. A civilian was killed in a rebel rocket attack, and hours later, two Israeli jets fired on the outskirts of Majdal Silim near the front line. Two rebels were killed, Lebanese officials said.
