Israeli Planes Hit Communications Towers
Edited on Sat Jul-22-06 06:15 AM by cal04
Israeli warplanes blasted communications and television transmission towers in central and northern Lebanese mountains Saturday, police said.

Fighter bombers fired missiles at the transmission station at Fatqa in the Keserwan mountains, knocking out transmission antennas. Within seconds, the Lebanese Broadcasting Corp., the nation's leading private network, went off the air.

Another airstrike crippled a transmission tower at Terbol in northern Lebanon, police said. It was not clear what damage that attack caused.

It is the first major airstrike in the Christian heartland of Lebanon in the 10-day-old Israeli aerial bombardment, which has hammered regions in the south and east as well as south Beirut.
