             Hezbollah Says Israeli Attack Kills 5 of Its Fighters

   by VOA News

   The Lebanese Shi'ite group Hezbollah says five of its fighters,
   including a commander, have been killed by an Israeli airstrike in the
   Syrian sector of the Golan Heights.

   The Israeli army declined to comment, but sources in the Middle East
   say an Israeli helicopter fired two missiles Sunday near Quneitra,
   close to the line dividing the Syrian part of the Golan Heights from
   the Israeli-occupied sector.

   Israel's Ynet news website quoted an Israeli military source as saying
   the attack targeted "terrorists who intended to attack Israel."
   Lebanese sources said the Israeli attack hit two Hezbollah vehicles.

   News agencies reported among those killed was Mohammad Issa, a
   Hezbollah commander responsible for Syrian and Iraqi operations.
   Reportedly also killed was Jihad Mughniyeh, the son of slain Hezbollah
   military leader Imad Mughniyeh, who was killed in a 2008 car bombing in
   Syria that was blamed on Israel.
