Israel Targets Hizballah Leaders
[Ha'aretz] Yossi Melman - Last Wednesday, the Israel Air Force dropped 23 tons of explosives on a Hizballah bunker in Beirut. Hidden under an innocent-looking mosque, the bunker had been built by Iranian engineers who specialized in the construction of protected subterranean buildings for their country's nuclear facilities. Hizballah is carefully guarding the area around the damaged bunker and preventing strangers from approaching. Israel's chief of staff hinted Friday that Israel knows the identities of some of those killed in the bombing, but prefers that Hizballah publicize their names. Hizballah leader Hassan Nasrallah wasn't in the bunker at the time, but it is possible that other members of the organization's leadership were wounded.
