SIDON, Lebanon — A Palestinian guerrilla group said Tuesday it killed nine Israeli-backed militiamen and seized a strategic hilltop during overnight clashes east of this southern Lebanese port.
The group, calling itself “Followers of God,” said in a statement that one of its men was killed and another injured in machine-gun and rocket-propelled grenade battles with the South Lebanon Army militia in Kfar Falous.
Independent security sources confirmed that Palestinian fighters carried out the attack.
