Israel strikes Lebanon religious building
49 minutes ago

BEIRUT, Lebanon - Israeli warplanes struck Sidon early Sunday, targeting a religious building run by a Shiite Muslim cleric close to Hezbollah in their first hit inside the southern port city, currently swollen with refugees from fighting further south.
..................

At least four people were wounded in the airstrike that targeted Sidon for the first time since Israel launched its massive military offensive against Lebanon and Hezbollah guerrillas July 12, hospital officials said.

Strikes early in Israel's campaign hit bridges outside the city of 100,000, where 35,000 refugees are also now residing.

Witnesses said the Israeli jets fired two missiles that directly hit the four-story Sayyed al-Zahraa compound in Sidon. The compound, which contains a mosque, a religious library and a seminary, was entirely destroyed but was believed to be empty at the time of the strike, they said.

they are hell bent to destroy peoples' lives to further their own agenda. I hope they pay a heavy price for all the killing and murdering that they are doing, this is being done in our name, and we stand silent.

4. Not good, not good at all.
I wonder how many will now turn to Hezbollah for protection after this?
