Israeli warplanes on Monday bombed sites in Lebanon just south of Beirut, the country’s capital. Targeted were disused sites of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine. The BBC reports it was the closest raid to Beirut since Israeli troops withdrew from southern Lebanon four years ago. Lebanon filed a formal protest to the UN Security Council and Israel warned more attacks may be coming. Israeli radio reported that prior to the bombing an Israeli naval ship was the target of a mortar attack from Hezbollah. No damage was caused.
