My poor memory may trick me but I believe that it was Hezbollah who threw a pretty serious attack against a South Lebanese Army position in........ 94/95? They used seweral firebases to supress Israeli and SLA support artillery positions and then a small group of soldiers wearing pretty high tec equipment (For the Hezb.!) stormed the position. The last Hezb. were shot down on the earthwork around the base. This caused some ashtonishment (or so says the rumors!) to the Israelis because up to that point attacks usually consisted of fireing Katushas and an occasionally mortar round. (Occasionally because you don't want to be caught near the mortar by the Israely counter artillery system.) It was relatively well planned and executed. The Hezbollah is said to have a well equipped and able core of soldiers. I was located in an OP tower near Ebel el Saqi at that point.
