Your support makes all the difference.The Israeli air force carried out strikes today near the village of Taibe in southern Lebanon despite an agreement to halt raids for 48 hours, the army said.
The air strikes were meant to protect ground forces operating in the area, and were not targeting anyone or anything specific, the army said.
Israel agreed to halt its air operations in Lebanon for two days after nearly 60 Lebanese civilians were killed in a strike yesterday.
Meanwhile Hizbollah guerrillas attacked an Israeli tank in southern Lebanon today, wounding three soldiers, the military said.
