You don´t have more to offer? Everyone standing in the way of "Greater Israel" is terrorist, we knowThat's weak. Hezbollah are terrorists. Always have been.Occupation forces get attacked. Since IJO doesn´t exist anymore, they blame it all on Hezbollah and link it to IJO.On 11 November 1982, an explosion demolished an eight-story building used by the Israeli occupation forces in Tyre in south Lebanon. In the conflagration, seventy-four Israeli soldiers and fourteen others died. The Israeli authorities announced that the blast was the result of an explosion of gas balloons, although there was considerable speculation that the attack had been a deliberate bombing. Indeed, Islamic Jihad claimed credit for the explosion, announcing that it had been produced by time bombs it had infiltrated into the building. Little more was said until 19 May 1985, when Hizbullahâs Islamic Resistance gave a different account, claiming that the building had been demolished by an explosive-laden car driven by a âself-martyr.â The announcement attributed the act to Ahmad Qasir, a fifteen-year-old from Dayr Qanun al-Nahr, a Shiâite town about ten miles inland from Tyre in south Lebanon.1Looks like you hope people do not open your links...
From your source:
"The Shia Muslim militia group Amal and Sheik Mohammed Hussein Fadlallah, spiritual adviser to the radical Shia group Hezbollah (Party of God), both blamed Israel for the Friday bombing and threatened revenge.
However, in Beirut, a caller to Western news agencies said the shadowy Islamic Jihad* (Islamic Holy War) was responsible for the attack. Islamic Jihad has also claimed responsibility for the deadly Tyre bombing and the suicide truck bombings of the U.S. Marine and French military compounds in Beirut in October, 1983, in which nearly 300 servicemen were killed."

It is impossible even now to pronounce definitively on the origin or authorship of the explosion. Yet if the claim of the Islamic Resistance is true, then the Tyre attack of 1982 may be said to have initiated the tactic that made Hizbullah both famous and dreaded. The âself-martyringâ operations took the following form: an individual would take the wheel of a truck or car loaded with high explosives, position that vehicle alongside a target, and detonate the explosives while still in the vehicle. In the resulting explosion, the driver was certain to die. The explosion also inflicted damage upon the target, although its effect could not be predicted. The most destructive attack by Islamic Jihad, less than a year later, claimed 241 American lives in Beirut. Other attacks claimed fewer casualties, and sometimes only the life of the driver.
Although Hizbullah devised such attacks, other Lebanese organizations soon sponsored similar operations, including Hizbullahâs Lebanese Shiâite rival, the Amal movement. The first such operation by Amal took place on 16 June 1984, when a Lebanese car approached an Israeli military patrol in south Lebanon. As the patrol and the car met, the driver of the car detonated high explosives packed in the vehicle, killing himself and wounding a number of Israeli soldiers. Credit for the operation was immediately claimed by the Amal movement, which identified the âself-martyrâ as Bilal Fahs, a seventeen-year-old from the town of Jibshit, near Nabatiyya in south Lebanon.

IJO is reported to have spawned Hezbollah. Hezbollah claims it was already there. It was not organized to the degree that we are accustomed to seeing. That said, the identity is revealed via a Hezbollah newspaper.
I do. Watching you deflect and defend a terrorist group is amusing.
