May 28 - Israeli jets and artillery have bombarded southern Lebanese border areas and its forces exchanged fire with Hizbollah guerrillas.

The Israeli army ordered residents living in northern areas to head for bomb shelters.

Israeli planes also attacked two bases run by a Syrian-backed Palestinian faction in Lebanon, killing one Palestinian fighter, hours after rockets fired into northern Israel wounded an Israeli soldier. Lebanese witnesses said areas near Rmeish, Aita, Yaroun, Mais al-Jabal and Ghajar, towns along different parts of the Lebanese border with Israel, were hit by Israeli aircraft.

"Who bears the responsibility of the attack on Sidon and terrifying the civilians there? This the question that should be asked. But who launched the missiles on Israel? I tell you that missiles should pound Israel day and night from all the Arab fronts. (Launching) These missiles is a legal right, and Israelis should feel their security is threatened. But asking for the arms to rest and retire like if we were facing Switzerland or like if Israel has become the new Arab country, that would be the most dangerous thing to which we will be exposed," said Anwar Raja, a representative for the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine-General Command Military.

The Israeli army said it fired aircraft and artillery rounds at suspected Hizbollah positions in southern Lebanon.

Israel's orders to its residents followed a gun battle between Hizbollah guerrillas and Israeli soldiers near Kibbutz Menara and mortar and rocket fire into northern Israel, Israeli security sources said.

Hizbollah guerrillas also exchanged fire with Israeli forces in the disputed Shebaa Farms border area, witnesses and security sources said.
