LEBANESE POLICEMEN AT A CHECKPOINT ON THE ROAD TO THE SHEBAA VILLAGE.
Lebanese policemen at a checkpoint on the road to the Shebaa village in
south Lebanon April 11, 2002. Lebanese forces have been patrolling
southern Lebanese villages, along the Lebanon-Israeli border, after the
arrest of Palestinian guerrillas accused of firing rockets into
northern Israel. Those attacks, as well as raids by Lebanese Hizbollah
guerrillas on Israeli troops in a disputed border area, have drawn
Israeli threats of retaliation and raised regional tension. In the
