IAF strikes Beirut proper
******************** AN EXCERPT ***********************************
Hizbullah leaders and operatives were also leaving Beirut on Saturday following a massive IAF strike on an 11-story building in south Beirut that served as the organization's command center, initial intelligence indicated. Channel 2 reported that the move appeared to be made under heavy security.
A senior IDF officer reported that as a result of a similar strike on the same building on Friday, a large building collapsed, blocking the entrance to a command bunker where Hizbullah leader Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah was believed to be located, Army Radio reported.

Nasrallah Bugging Out?
***********************AN EXCERPT **************************************
The Jerusalem Post reports that Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah and his merry band of stalwart defenders of Lebanon have decided to get the hell out of Beirut after the Israelis flattened their offices there. The move follows Nasrallah's call for "open war", and an Israeli response by hitting the Lebanese city of Triploi, north of Beirut:

This is what makes Israel such a scary opponent, their oft demonstrated ability to track enemies in real-time, and their willingness to use PGM's to target them.
Fingers crossed.
