Israel strikes Palestinian militant base in Lebanon
2006-05-28
BEIRUT (Reuters) - Israeli aircraft fired missiles at a Palestinian militant base in eastern Lebanon on Sunday, witnesses and a security source said, hours after rockets fired into northern Israel wounded an Israeli soldier.

The source said at least eight Israeli missiles were fired in two sorties against the military base run by the Syrian-backed Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestinian-General Command (PFLP-GC) near the town of Luci in the Bekaa Valley.

It was not immediately clear if there were any casualties, but witnesses saw ambulances rushing to the area.

An Israeli army spokesman had no immediate comment.

The exchange came two days after a senior Islamic Jihad official and his brother were killed in a car bombing in southern Lebanon that the Palestinian group blamed on Israel.

#6  True, Sock Puppet of Doom. Let's all say "Jenin Massacre" together. An Official UN Terrible Injustice Myth that will never, ever, die.

BBC - Jenin 'massacre evidence growing' (never corrected)
ABC - Report on Jenin massacre flawed (almost got it)
Weekly Standard - The Big Lie

#1  One would wonder why nobody is Lebanon has ever thought to say "Hey, fellows! We're going to be lobbing some rockets at Israel, and no doubt they will retaliate with something, so duck!"
