The Beirut Attack: What Really Happened
(Jerusalem Post) Anna Ahronheim - Early on Sunday, two DIJ drones appeared in the skies over Hizbullah's Dahiyeh stronghold in Beirut. One exploded and damaged Hizbullah's media office. But it's unlikely that the media office posed an imminent threat to the safety and security of the citizens of Israel. The target had to be something else. According to a report by The Times of London, two trucks seen in flames after the explosion had been carrying crates with machinery to mix high-grade propellant for precision-guided missiles. An Iranian-made industrial mixer was seriously damaged and its computerized control mechanism was totally destroyed. According to sources, Hizbullah officials made a conscious decision to transfer the center of gravity of the precision-missile project from Syria to the heart of Beirut.
