Iranian Revolutionary Guards in South Lebanon ?
Israel's Channel 10 television cited yesterday evening (August 9th) diplomatic sources as saying members of Iran's Revolutionary Guard had been found among Hezbollah guerillas slain by Israeli forces in southern Lebanon.
It carried on by saying that the Iranians were identified by papers found on their bodies. but it gave no further details on how many were discovered or when.
Hezbollah today denied the news:
"Hezbollah categorically denies the lies and claims that the enemy is promoting that Iranian fighters are present in the confrontations with the occupation forces," the pro-Iranian Lebanese guerrilla group said.
Iran's Revolutionary Guards are traditionally very close to fellow Shiite Muslims in Hezbollah and were deployed in south Lebanon in the 1980s.
