Israel air force jets struck at Abu Nidal’s bases in southern Lebanon Thursday morning, after a rare nighttime attack Wednesday night.
The double sortie was aimed at recently established installations of Nidal’s Fatah Revolutionary Council, located north and northeast of Sidon.
All aircraft returned safely to their bases, a military spokesman said.
The attack was the first Israeli air strike over Lebanon this year. There were 27 in 1988.
