Navy destroys Hizbullah's harbor in Beirut
Jerusalem Post ^ | 8/4/6 | YAAKOV KATZ

Posted on 08/04/2006 10:16:30 AM PDT by SmithL

Israeli Navy ships destroyed the Adi Nasrallsh Harbor in south Beirut on Friday evening.

According to the army, the harbor, named after Hizbullah leader Hassan Nasrallah's son who was killed by the IDF 1997, was the launching site of the Iranian C-802 missile that was fired at the Navy ship Hanit killing four soldiers in mid-July.

The site was also used to train Hizbullah operatives in weapons-smuggling, the army said.

Did they leave a receipt with the Harbor master for the destruction?

Don't worry. I'm sure someone will publish it real soon.

That's what I was thinking. A geographic harbor isn't much good for anything without its facilities.

The IDF needs to build a monument and now name the harbor for the son of the Israeli who ordered the attack that destroyed the harbor. Whew!

By unloading all the ordinance you can onto it! I would imagine they actually mean the docking area and that the harbour still exits:)

Looks like the Israelis severly damaged the Lebanese fleet as well...

Pearl Harbor was hardly destroyed. Ships steamed in and out of Pear Harbor right after the attack.

Use a nuke - that will do it every time,

When a job needs to get done, only use the best.
