ARTICLE SNIPPET: "SINGAPORE - Oil prices rose for a third day Thursday amid rising tension in the Mideast, including Iran being referred back to the U.N. Security Council over possible sanctions over its nuclear program and unrest in Israel and Lebanon.
"The key concern is Iran. The track it's on is not a positive one for the oil market," said Tobin Gorey, commodity strategist at the Commonwealth Bank of Australia in Sydney.
World power sent Iran back to the U.N. Security Council Wednesday after nuclear talks failed to yield agreements, stirring concerns about how OPEC's No. 2 supplier might respond."

IAF jets bomb Al-Manar television

IAF jets attacked the Al-Manar television station in Beirut belonging to the Hizbullah organization on Thursday morning.
There were no immediate reports of casualties. The station was apparently continuing to broadcast from the station.
The attack was part of a military campaign which the IDF vowed would be harsh and quick against the Lebanese government and Hizbullah, which killed eight IDF soldiers and kidnapped two others along the northern border on Wednesday.
Earlier Thursday morning, IAF fighter jets bombed runways at Beirut International Airport. Al-Jazeera television network reported that 15 people were killed in the airstrike.
The IDF said that the airport was targeted because it was used by Hizbullah to import weapons.
The IAF attack forced the closure of the airport and the diversion of two flights to Cyprus.
