In the 1980s, Irish Army peacekeepers would occasionally come across known republican figures in south Lebanon, where they believed they were working with Hizbollah, a Shiite guerrilla group that fought occupying Israeli troops. www.unitedjerusalem.org /index2.asp?id=322275&Date=7/14/03   (493 words)
