A Hizbullah headquarters in Bint Jbeil was one of the hardest struck targets. The structure, from which at least ten gunmen were firing at IDF paratroopers, was leveled.
A senior Hizbullah man was reportedly killed by an Israeli air strike in the city of Mashgara, together with his entire family. Two more people were killed in one of the many Lebanese slums inhabited by the children and grandchildren of Arabs who fled Israel during the 1948 War of Independence. The IDF says the home of a Hizbullah official was targeted and Hizbullah's Al-Manar TV says it was a Fatah institution – perhaps a testimony to the fluidity of membership in either group.
Two Islamic Jihad terrorists were killed on Wednesday morning by an IAF surgical strike. The two were involved in suicide bombings against Israeli civilians in the past.
IDF soldiers involved in counter-terror operations across Judea and Samaria overnight Tuesday arrested three wanted men during the night in PA-controlled Shechem and Ramallah. Suspects in custody include Popular Front and Fatah-Tanzim terrorists. Soldiers were targeted with fire bombs, but there were no reports of injuries to IDF soldiers.
Though entering areas classified as Area A, under full PA security control, was taboo for most of the Oslo War, the IDF has been carrying out such operations in such areas almost nightly in recent months.
