Israel hits television, phone antennae in Lebanon
23/7/2006 10:47

Israeli warplanes hit television and mobile phone antennae in Lebanon yesterday, security sources said.
One of the targets was transmission antenna in northern Lebanon. The antenna was for the Lebanese Broadcasting Company and mobile communication.
Another target was antenna in Katfa in the central Keserwan mountainous area.
Security sources said that the attacks were to destroy all mobile communications to further isolate Lebanese cities and people from the outside world.
Meanwhile, southern Lebanese villages were still under Israeli air raids on Saturday. In response, Hezbollah fired rockets at the coastal Israeli city of Naharya.
Violence erupted between Israel and Lebanese Hezbollah after the Shiite militant group kidnapped two Israeli soldiers and killed eight in a cross-border attack on July 12.
