Israeli warplanes strike communication relay station, kill camera-woman
2006-07-24
(KUNA) -- Israeli warplanes roared at medium and low altitudes on Sunday and scrambled to hit targets on hills in the coastal town of Naameh, a few kilometers south of the Lebanese capital. The jet fighters also hit antennas of a telephone network, located on a hill close to the southern town of Jezzine, a day after the Israeli air force struck several relay communication stations on high ground throughout the country, security sources reported.

The aircraft, in today's operations, struck the southern village of Shiheen, killing one person and wounding three others. Another air strike on a road leading to the southern village of Qana resulted in the death of the Lebanese camera-woman, Layal Naijb. The warplanes also hit targets in the southern suburbs of Beirut.

Security sources said the jet fighters fired rockets in the direction of the so-called "security square," a spot in the residential region where Hezbollah has main offices and facilities in addition to residents of several leading members of the organization. Several high-rise buildings in this location have been destroyed due to a series of attacks by the Israeli warplanes and gunboats.
