HEZBOLLAH VIDEO POOR QUALITY INCOMING

Iranian-backed Hizbollah guerrillas are claiming responsibility for killing two Israeli soldiers in a bomb attack in south Lebanon.

Hizbollah have released video showing an explosion going off next to an Israeli foot patrol in the Jewish state's occupation zone in south Lebanon on Tuesday.

SOUNDBITE: (Arabic)
"The Islamic resistance was able to turn the tables against the Israeli enemy and obstruct its plans and make them fail in two major wars - in 1993 and 1996 - and now they don not dare because of their (the Israelis) previous experience in 1985 when Israel was obliged to leave (Lebanon) to send more soldiers to Lebanon. They don't want to see in front of them elements who do not fear death."
SUPER CAPTION: Sheikh Naim Kassem, Hizbollah's deputy secretary general

Pro-Israeli militia sources say the blast occurred as Israeli soldiers were travelling on the road between Marqaba and Odeissi deep in the central sector of the security zone.
