Al-Akhbar newspaper quoted security sources as saying that a number of former pro-Israeli Lahd militiamen in Shwaya ambushed Hezbollah rocketry unit which carried out the attack on the open areas near Zionist military posts in occupied Shebaa Farms.
The sources added that the former Lahd militiamen played a vital role in ambushing and seizing the truck loaded with a launcher and rockets by inciting the locals to congregate around the vehicle.
