21:24 Jul 13, '06 / 17 Tammuz 5766

(IsraelNN.com) IDF planes and Navy vessels have struck southern Beirut and hit a gasoline supply depot at an air field. Air Force planes also bombed the highway between Beirut and Damascus.

Israel has vowed to close land and sea routes from Lebanon in an effort to keep Hizbullah terrorists from transporting two kidnapped IDF soldiers to Iran.

The southern part of Beirut has mainly Shi'it inhabitants and is a strong point of Hezbollah's.

Sounds like a good target.
