Israel Air Force planes attacked terrorist targets in Lebanon Tuesday, for the second time in two days. All the aircraft returned safely to their base. The latest action came hours after an attack by Lebanese terrorists on a position staffed by the Israeli-backed South Lebanon Army east of Sidon in which three people were reported killed and 10 wounded.
An Israel Defense Force spokesman described the targets hit Tuesday as stone houses and a tented area used by a pro-Syrian terrorist group in the Bekaa Valley not far from the Syrian border and in an area protected by Syrian missiles.
