Israeli aircraft bombed the international airport of Beirut after
Rafik Harriri. Israei radio informs that the attack aims to distort
the normal working regime of the airport. Beirut airport is currently
closed, and all planes flying to Lebanon are forced to land in
Cyprus. According to "Al Jazeera" TV Company, 15 people were killed
in the bombarding.

The Israeli aircraft attacked also the two bridges and highways
linking the North and the South of the country. 22 were killed,
including 8 children.

Another airstrike, on al-Manar television station, was carried
out because the station is used by Hezbollah to incite and recruit
activists.

Before the attack on Lebanon, the Israeli Government allowed the
Army to start military actions against the Lebanese Hezbollah armed
grouping, which exerts control over the South of Lebanon. This actually
means that Israel is starting a new war against Lebanon.
