Israeli forces continued to pound guerrilla strongholds by land and sea in southern Lebanon on Wednesday night.
Navy gunboats shelled the Rashidiya refugee camp on the coast, according to reports from the nearby port city of Tyre. Israeli sources declined to comment on the report.
The IDF and its allied South Lebanon Army continued their artillery bombardment of Shi’ite villages in the Nabatiya area, north of the southern Lebanon security zone, according to sources of the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon.
The villages are alleged to provide support and shelter for Hezbollah, the Shi’ite fundamentalist militia that recently escalated attacks on the IDF.
