Israeli gunners pound locations in southern Lebanon |
2006-05-29 |
Israeli forces including artillery units and gunship helicopters attacked targets in southern Lebanon on Sunday, a security source said. The source said the Israeli bombardment targetted vicinity of the village of Rmeish, while the multi-winged aircraft struck locations close to another southern village, Aitaroun. Al-Manar, the television station of the Islamic Hezbollah organization, reported that fighters of the organization and Israeli troops engaged in armed clashes in the frontier Shebaa farms. Later sources close to Hezbollah said a member of the group died in the border duels. The Hezbollah-run television station said one Israeli soldier died and another was wounded in the fighting. The duels, involving gunners, erupted hours after Katyusha rockets, fired from southern Lebanon, crashed into northern Israel wounding an Israeli soldier. |

#3 Sounds like the Israeli (we don't throw anything away) Fokker Triplanes squadron must have been in on the raid. |

#2 Pour it on. There's nothing like round after round of incoming to clear the sinuses and allow one to think more clearly. |

#1 Another report (Debka I think) says Israel took out electronic evesdropping sites installed by Iran and Syria in S. Lebanon. Bet that makes their paymasters happy (not). |
