IAF Targets Hizbullah Deep in Beirut

Massive traffic jams as Beirut residents flee.

The Israel Air Force during the night struck Hizbullah targets deep in Beirut, including the Beirut-Damascus Highway.

The highway has significance to the terror organization, serving as a primary route for the weapons supply train, bringing weapons and ammunition from Iran that were delivered to Hizbullah via Syria.

Israel rejected statements of denial released by Hizbullah following the attack, with Jerusalem placing the blame for the rocket attack in the port city on Hizbullah. Government officials released statements that it holds Hizbullah and the Government of Lebanon responsible for ongoing anti-Israel terror, which is based in Lebanon and supported and funded by Syria and Iran.
