IDF Spokesperson Announcement
Summary of IDF activity in Lebanon early this morning, July 14th 2006 (8 a.m.)
The IDF targeted 18 sites in southern Lebanon early this morning, July 14th 2006 as Hezbollah launched more than 130 missiles into Israel over the course of 48 hours, killing two civilians and wounding more than 100.
The sites targeted are:
- The security command in the Hezbollah HQ in the Shiite district of southern Beirut. The HQ is used by senior Hezbollah members, including Hassan Nasrallah for meetings and for storing weaponry. The IDF also targeted several bridges and access routes leading to the compound.
- Three petrol stations located south of Sidon.
- Several bridges and access routes part of the Beirut-Damascus highway.
- One storage facility storing weaponry located east of Beirut.
- Two Hezbollah outposts along the Israeli-Lebanese border
The Lebanese government is openly violating the decisions of the UN Security Council by doing nothing to remove the Hezbollah threat on the Lebanese border, and is therefore fully responsible for the current aggression.
The IDF will continue to use all means at its disposal in order to protect the citizens of Israel and return the abducted IDF soldiers to their homes.
