IAF destroys two rocket launchers |
2006-07-23 |
The IAF destroyed two Hizbullah rocket launchers in Lebanon on Sunday morning. By noon, the Israeli army had struck 40 targets over the border. A series of large explosions shook the Beirut in the early hours of Sunday as IAF warplanes apparently again pounded the Hizbullah's stronghold in Beirut's southern Dahiya suburb. Three huge explosions reverberated across Beirut in short succession, while other IDF raids struck the southern town of Sidon. The strikes in Sidon destroyed a religious building run by a Shi'ite Muslim cleric close to Hizbullah in their first hit inside the southern port city, currently swollen with refugees from fighting further south. |

#3 You could tell it was a religious building by the quantity of secondary explosions. |

#2 Religious building destroyed? Maybe a semi-mosque not on the registry of the 90,000 most holy sites? |

#1 we'll know whether the Dahiya strikes were effective by listening for the following: - movement by Syria to negotiate a truce on behalf of Hizb - threats from Iran which don't mention Nazrallah - frantic sounding appeals from Russia and France if we don't get any of these, the strikes were probably ineffective |
