Maybe. If anyone can read Swedish, let me know if I got this right or not.

Pictures of Corpses when TV Channel Was Hijacked

Israel hacked it's way into the Hezbollah news broadcast.

Suddenly pictures of corpses appeared in tonight's news broadcast. Israel had hacked it's way into Hezbollah's TV channel Al Manar to call Hezbollah's Shiite militia leader Hassan Nasrallah a liar.

One of the pictures showed a dead soldier wearing khaki pants, lying with his face pressed to the ground.
In the bottom of the screen was the text "This is the body of a member of Hezbollah Special Forces".

The next text frame said "Nasrallah lies. We aren't the one who's hiding our casualty figures.

The message was visible on screen for several minutes, reports the AFP news bureau.

Then came a photo of the Hezbollah leader Nasrallah and the text "Hezbollah members - Beware!"

Yet another image of a corpse was then shown with the words "There are a great many corpses like these on the ground, and Nasrallah is hiding the truth"

Israel also hacked radio broadcasts and under 2 minutes time spread the message "Hassan sent men to fight the Israeli Army - An Army of Steel - without preparing them. Stop listening to Patriotic hymns for a moment, reflect and come down to earth".

By hacking the TV and radio broadcasts Israel gave further proof of the their use of phycological warfare in Lebanon.
Other things Israel has done before is send SMS and voicemails to Lebanese cellphones. The message then was that the war is being fought against Hezbollah and not the Lebanese people.

There are no significant errors; while not perfect, the translation is certainly good enough to give an accurate impression.

I don't know Swedish but with your version in hand, that does appear to be the gist of it. And I got a Swedish pop-up ad, too, so that was a bonus.
