FOUR lorries destroyed by Israeli air raids near the Christian town of Zahle in Lebanon's Bekaa valley yesterday were carrying nothing but medicines and food provisions, awitness says.
An Israeli military spokesman said the lorries had been carrying arms, munitions and explosives from Syria bound for Hezbollah fighters operating in the Bekaa valley.
An AFP journalist saw that one of the lorries was transporting medicine from the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Another had been carrying vegetable oil, which spilled over the road, a third had a cargo of provisions and the fourth was empty.
Meanwhile, Turkish diplomats in Beirut said that a Turkish truck carrying cooking oil was also destroyed by Israeli fire in the Bekaa valley yesterday.
The UAE also denounced the bombarding of one of their humanitarian convoys.
The Israeli military carried out at least six attacks on lorries in the Zahle area, police said.
"Israel is clearly trying to disrupt daily life for the Lebanese, to isolate Bekaa from the rest of the country and to cut the supply lines to the Hezbollah in southern Lebanon," one police officer said.
So?
Hard cheese!
Heh, heh, heh. Liars.
Bombed trucks were 'carrying food' ... for the abducted soldiers.
bah! Go Israel!
That's kind of what you should expect to happen when one of your political leaders declares war on another country.
Uh, couldn't they have been carrying food? Is that so far fetched? I don't think so. Looks like the IDF messed up on this one.
As in "Baby Milk Factory"???
Betcha anything weapons were also on the trucks. Mixed cargo
Heartless Jooos. Zionist apes.

Fixed the author's typo.
A veggie oil tanker could actually be carrying some kind of liquid explosive, I suppose. Most of these trucks are still getting through, or they wouldn't even be sent.
All those Twinkies caused secondary explosions.....no, wait, it was Rosarita Refries....that makes more sense.
anybody ever notice how any materiél ever destroyed by the US or Israel is medicine, and how any people ever killed by the US or Israel are always wedding guests?
and Hezbollah is clearly trying to disrupt the daily life of Israelis as well..
Babies made milk??
Who knew!
I think the 'cutting the supplies line' part is covered in chapter 2 of Sams Teach Yourself How to Fight a War in 24 Hours. For any Hezbollah lurkers, you can purchase the 2nd edition on Amazon, but be forwarned that shipping may take longer than the war with Israel is going to last.
