JPOST had a headline that said the current battle is for Ain Qana??
If so that is a SIGNIFICANT distance inside Lebanon!

Now it's GONE, replaced with "Israel attacks 40 targets"?

Report: Dozens killed as IAF hits southern town of Qana
By YAAKOV KATZ

IAF fighter jets bombed the southern Lebanese town of Qana on Sunday morning, destroying several houses in which dozens of people were trapped.

A high-ranking officer said Sunday that the IDF warned the residents of Qana to evacuate the village in anticipation of the airstrikes on Katyusha launchers. The officer said that Hizbullah guerillas had fired at least 10 rockets from within the village and dozens more from nearby.

The IAF officer said that the air force had been targeting the village for the past three days and on Saturday night struck ten different targets inside the village. He said the building hit Sunday was picked since intelligence indicated that Hizbullah guerillas were hiding inside together with Katyusha rockets and launchers.

"We have been attacking in Qana for three days," the high-ranking IAF officer said. "They have fired dozens of rockets from there over the past week at Kiryat Shmona, Afula and Ma'alot."
