Israeli air raid strikes Palestinian sites in Beqaa, southern Beirut
 Israeli air force raided several sites of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) led by Ahmad Jebril in Beqaa and areas south of Beirut, Lebanese security forces said Sunday. Sources told Kuwait News Agency (KUNA) the Israeli jets launched six rockets on "Sultan Yaqoub" base that belongs to the PFLP in western Beqaa, in east Lebanon. A column of smoke was seen rising from southern Beirut. Anti-aircraft artillery fired at the Israeli aircraft which are still hovering in Lebanese airspace.Earlier today, an Israeli was injured when Katiosha rockets were launched from southern Beirut towards Israel. The raids come in retaliation after a chief in the Palestinian Islamic Jihad movement and his brother were murdered in a booby-trapped car southern Lebanon last Friday. Israel was accused of being the one behind the killing. Posted by: Fred 2006-05-29 |
