BBC- Israeli jets also pounded targets north and south of the Lebanese capital, Beirut.
Five people were killed as Israeli planes destroyed four bridges on the main coastal highway in the Christian heartlands north from Beirut.
A UN refugee agency spokeswoman told the BBC the destruction of the bridges was a major setback for the aid operation.
"Now the main road is basically cut off," said Astrid van Genderen Stort. "We are looking at secondary roads, but they are small. That will delay our operations."
The Israeli army said the bridges had been destroyed to prevent Syria from rearming its ally Hezbollah.
Huh???????
So... according to the Israeli army... the Syrians are now arming Hebollah in southern lebanon by going NORTH, TO THE OCEAN and down through the christian neighborhoods of beirut.
I'm eager to hear the apologists explain these strikes on civilians...
EDIT: and none of the 900+ civilians killed and destruction of lebanese civilian infrastructure has dramatically harmed Hezbollah or stopped them from spamming Israel with their missiles/rockets...
