Rebels Bomb Israelis
08 June 1994
MARJAYOUN, Lebanon -- Guerrillas fired Katyusha rockets into Israel's occupation zone in south Lebanon and attacked its militia allies with mortar bombs on Tuesday, security sources said. They said at least 10 Katyushas slammed around the town of Marjayoun, where the Israeli-backed South Lebanon Army (SLA) militia keeps it headquarters. Guerrillas also lobbed mortar bombs at an SLA post just inside the zone's middle sector. No casualties were reported in either attack.
