Massive Explosions Rock Beirut and Southern Lebanon as Israel Steps Up Bombing Campaign
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dozens of massive explosions rocked the Lebanese capital overnight
Sunday, marking Israel's heaviest bombardment on Beirut and the city's
southern suburbs since Israel widened its war on Lebanon two weeks ago.
Earlier today, Israeli warplanes bombed a fire station in the town of
Baraachit, killing at least eight people. Hezbollah fired rockets at the
Israeli port city of Haifa, wounding at least 10 people. Israeli's
assault has now displaced 1.2 million people in Lebanon. After
headlines, we'll go to Beirut for the latest.
