Israel hits TV, phone towers

2006-07-22 13:43

Beirut - The Israeli military hit transmission towers for television stations and mobile telephone networks in at least two locations in Lebanon on Saturday, police said.

The strikes targeted transmission towers for the leading LBCI satellite television and a number of private radios in Fatqa, in the Kesrwan mountains northeast of Beirut.

Television footage showed a cloud of thick black smoke billowing into the sky from the towers which were engulfed in flames. A truck was also seen burning.

Transmission towers for televisions, including Hezbollah's Al-Manar and the privately run New TV, as well as mobile telephone networks were also destroyed in Terbol in northern Lebanon, police added.

It was the latest in a series of Israeli strikes on radio and television transmitters, particularly those of Hezbollah, since the Shi'ite militant group captured two Israeli soldiers in a deadly cross-border raid on July 12 that triggered the Israeli air offensive.
