Hizballah: Armed Attacks Forced Gaza Pullout
(Reuters) Laila Bassam - Hizballah hailed Israel's evacuation of Jewish settlements in Gaza on Tuesday as another victory for armed resistance. "The Israeli withdrawal from Gaza is a defeat for Israel and a victory for the Palestinians," said Hizballah's deputy chief Naim Kassem. Kassem said that like its withdrawal under fire from southern Lebanon in 2000, Israel's decision to pull out from the Gaza Strip was also because it could "no longer bear the strikes of the Palestinian uprising."
