IDF Ground Forces, Hezbollah Engage Near Moshav Avivim

IDF ground forces were engaged in a heavy exchange of fire with Hezbollah guerrillas on the Lebanese side of the northern border Wednesday afternoon, near Moshav Avivim.

Also, in an unprecedented move, fighter jets targeted the Christian Quarter in central Beirut, firing missiles at two trucks. The IDF also struck five weapons warehouses in southern Lebanon, as well as communications infrastructure and several Katyusha launch sites. A bridge connecting the cities of Tyre and Sidon was hit as well.

IDF operations in Lebanon have thus far destroyed between 40 and 50 percent of Hezbollah's military infrastructure.
