Hizbullah's Al-Manar television station showed a three-minute film of the assassination of South Lebanon Army No. 2 Akel Hashem. The film showed Hashem walking with his large guarddog and two colleagues on his farm in the village of Debl in the Israeli-occupied border strip.
The SLA officer is then shown climbing into his Israeli-supplied armor-plated Hammer Jeep before the Hizbullah guerrillas detonate the bomb that kills him. The two men and dog seen accompanying Hashem earlier are out of picture as the bomb explodes.
On Sunday evening Hizbullah supporters distributed lists of the "crimes" attributed to the pro-Israeli commander. The Shiite group accused Hashem of involvement in 1982 massacres of Palestinians in the Beirut refugee camps of Sabra and Shatila refugee camps.
It also charged that he had carried out massacres in south Lebanon and driven residents from their homes as early as 1977, a year before Israel's first invasion 22 years ago, and organized car-bombings in the capital.
Hizbullah supporters celebrated his death with cavalcades of cars in several of Lebanon's major cities.
Scores of cars joined the convoys draped in Hizbullah colors with their sirens blaring. In both the capital and the southern port city of Tyre, Hizbullah supporters set up "road blocks of joy" and handed out sweets to passers-by.
