BEIRUT, Lebanon - Israeli troops punched into south Lebanon on Wednesday as warplanes flattened buildings including one thought to hold Hezbollah's top leaders, intensifying an offensive despite mounting international pressure and a Lebanese appeal to spare the country further death and devastation.
Hezbollah denied that any of its "leaders or members" died in the strike in the Bourj al-Barajneh district of south Beirut. The explosives did not blast a leadership bunker, but a mosque under construction, the group said in a statement faxed to The Associated Press.
The strike was the most dramatic action on a day that saw Israelis clash with the guerrillas and launch strikes that killed an estimated 40 people.
Israel broadcast warnings into south Lebanon telling civilians to leave the region, a possible prelude to a larger Israeli ground operation.

I'm sure the AP swallowed that whole and will regurgitate it for the American public, along with all the other crap these terrorists spew.
The terrorists are faxing their rhetoric/talking points to the AP. How very convenient.

"A mosque under construction." Yeah, if its a mosque, that was hit, why is it off-limits to outsiders? Mosque, my ass.

Now a bunker becomes a mosque. That's funny.

Of course it was a mosque "under construction" that is why it looked like a bunker. Weren't their only women and kids inside. Did they forget to add that as well.

They forgot to add that a wedding was going on inside the Mosque, only women, children, and civilians were killed, and the site of this particular Mosque was the holiest of holy places.

Just who claims the Muslims do not adopt new technology? This was probably the first underground mosque built of steel reinforced concrete in Lebanon that the Israelis attacked. How's that for coincidences?
To: JustaCowgirl
Hey it might indeed have been a mosque under construction. Probably had some great secondary explosions too.

No kidding. It was destined to be the Ninth Wonder of the World too. The first mosque built 100 ft below groundlevel. Amazing.
And the Israelis destroyed this modern work of art in one pass, just like that. Kaboom!

Those secondary explosions were from the holy water. Highly incendiary.
