Israel Turns Over Kidnapped Farmers to UNIFIL
Israel on Saturday turned over to the U.N. Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) two farmers kidnapped from their olive grove a day earlier.
UNIFIL turned over the two, Mohammed Tarraf and his brother Hassan, to the Lebanese authorities amidst reports that Hizbullah was considering adopting a "decisive stand regarding such acts."
Hizbullah”s al-Manar television also said the Tarraf brothers suffered from wounds caused by dogs during interrogation by Israeli officers.
An Israeli infantry patrol on Friday crossed the Blue Line with Lebanon and kidnapped the Tarraf brothers from their grove near the southern village of Blida.
