Israel Bombs Beirut Suburb for First Time Since November
--------------------------------------------------------

In Lebanon, an Israeli airstrike blew up a residential building in
Beirut's southern suburbs on Friday. It was the first Israeli attack on
Beirut since a truce was reached in November. Residents of the
neighborhood decried the Israeli strikes.

Rouaida Hobeika: "This destruction, we got used to it. There's nothing
new. This is their approach. Their approach is vandalism, destruction.
Their approach is killing. They don't need a reason to hit us. They
invented a reason to hit us now. This is normal, and all the world knows
it. The old and young know it. Praise be to God."

Israel also attacked the town of Kfar Tibnit in southern Lebanon,
killing at least three people and wounding 18, including women and
children.
