Israel Resumes Beirut Strikes

HeadlineAug 03, 2006

Israel has resumed air strikes on the Lebanese capital of Beirut, Lebanon’s border with Syria and the eastern Bekka valley. The strikes come one day after Hezbollah fired more 230 rockets into Israel, the most since fighting began last month. One Israeli man was killed and more than thirty people were wounded. Hezbollah says it stepped up the attack “after [Israel] went too far in targeting civilians.”
