89. Here is one from Reuters
More info on what and who is being bombed--including locations outside Shi'ite areas and away from "Hizbollah's southern strongholds," small airports, a lighthouse, ports of Beirut and Tripoli, gas stations, fuel tanks, and power stations, abandoned homes and offices, Lebanese army, coastal radar systems--as well as Israel's claims and Lebanese civilian claims about these can be found at the link.

Israel's Lebanon campaign goes beyond Hizbollah

By Alistair Lyon, Middle East Correspondent

BEIRUT, July 18 (Reuters) - A dairy factory, a lighthouse, civilian buses and a medical truck are just a few of the more puzzling targets hit in Israel's week-old pounding of Lebanon.

Israeli generals say they need several more weeks to achieve their goal of crippling Shi'ite Muslim Hizbollah guerrillas. But Lebanese are wondering what is left to hit in raids that Prime Minister Fouad Siniora says have caused material damage of billions of dollars on top of tourism and investment losses.

Israel launched its offensive after Hizbollah guerrillas seized two of its soldiers and killed eight in a cross-border raid, but air raids have shattered much of Lebanon's civilian infrastructure, as well as striking at Hizbollah targets.

According to Lebanese police, at least 42 bridges have been destroyed and 38 roads cut in an aerial onslaught that has also targeted communications equipment and factories. Runways and fuel depots at Beirut airport have been hit repeatedly.
