In Lebanon, the army is claiming a suspected assassin has confessed to murdering senior Hezbollah and Palestinian guerrillas on behalf of Mossad, the Israeli intelligence agency. According to the Lebanese military officials, the suspect, Mahmoud Rafeh, said he was a leading member of a cell behind at least three other major assassinations in Lebanon. Rafeh was arrested last week in connection with the recent murder of two members of Islamic Jihad. Hezbollah and Islamic Jihad have long accused Israel of being behind a string of attacks that have killed their members. Hezbollah has battled Israeli forces in Southern Lebanon since the Israeli invasion of 1982.
