Hizballah Will Keep Up Pressure Along Border

(Daily Star -- Lebanon) Nicholas Blanford - Lebanon's southern border will remain a line of active confrontation with Israel because the plight of the Palestinians is a cause that affects the entire region, says Hizballah's deputy secretary-general, Sheikh Naim Qassem. Israel for months has been detailing Hizballah's penetration of the West Bank and Israeli Arab communities. Admitting Hizballah's involvement in the intifada, Qassem said that "the Palestinian cause is a cause for the whole region. The central point is that Israel occupies Arab land and launches attacks against the region. That's why we consider the problem is not only one of a few kilometers occupied by Israel (the Shebaa Farms). We believe we should stand by the side of the Palestinians because it is our cause too, for religious reasons ... and moral reasons. That's why we support the intifada with all the means we can."
