IAF jets bomb Al-Manar television

  _____  

Yaakov Katz, THE JERUSALEM POST         Jul. 13, 2006

IAF jets attacked the Al-Manar television station in Beirut belonging to the
Hizbullah organization on Thursday morning. 


There were no immediate reports of casualties. The station was apparently
continuing to broadcast from the station. 


The attack was part of a military campaign which the IDF vowed would be
harsh and quick against the Lebanese government and Hizbullah, which killed
eight IDF soldiers and kidnapped two others along the northern border on
Wednesday. 


Earlier Thursday morning, IAF fighter jets bombed runways at Beirut
International Airport. Al-Jazeera television network reported that 15 people
were killed in the airstrike. 


The IDF said that the airport was targeted because it was used by Hizbullah
to import weapons. 


The IAF attack forced the closure of the airport and the diversion of two
flights to Cyprus. 


Meeting in emergency session late Wednesday, the Cabinet approved IDF plans
to target the airport and other strategic infrastructures inside Lebanon
including power plants. 


In southern Lebanon, at least 27 civilians were reported killed overnight
Wednesday in IAF attacks, including a family of 12 in the village of Dweir,
leading TV station LBC reported. The IAF struck a Hizbullah post and two
bridges in southern Lebanon as the number of targets hit by the air force
since fighting erupted after the kidnapping of two IDF soldiers

Earlier, in a series of air strikes, IAF aircraft bombed Kfar Shuba and
Sheba Farms. The communications infrastructure connecting Beirut to the
south of the country was also damaged by IAF strikes. 


The strikes followed an attack by IAF warplanes and navy gunboats on a
Palestinian terrorist base south of Beirut late Wednesday in the closest
raid to the Lebanese capital since fighting erupted. 


The names of six of the eight soldiers killed Wednesday in a Hizbullah
attack on IDF forces patrolling the Lebanese border were released for
publication Wednesday evening: Sgt. Nimrod Cohen

been notified. 


The fourth victim was later identified as Sergeant-Major Wasim Nazel, 27,
from the Druze village of Kfar Yanuh. Earlier, Nazel's family was mistakenly
informed that he had been kidnapped. 


Two of the soldiers who were killed when the tank in which they were riding
drove over an explosive device, were identified as St.-Sgt. Alexei
Kashiniervski, 21, from Ness Ziona and Yaniv Bar-On, 19, from Maccabim. 


Under heavy fire, IDF forces continued their attempts to reclaim the bodies
of the four soldiers who died when their tank was ripped apart by the blast.



OC Northern Command Maj.-Gen. Udi Adam said Wednesday the IDF was preparing
for a widespread operation not only against Hizbullah but also against the
Lebanese government. 


"The IDF is responding with its full might by the air, the sea and the
ground," Adam said. "We are also preparing for a massive operation to defend
Israeli citizens and stop the terror."
