AP reports on the latest developments in the Hezbollah War:
Waves of warplanes thundering through the darkness bombed Beirut's southern suburbs for hours early Sunday, a day after Israel stepped up its air strikes and tightened a noose around this reeling nation.The Israeli air force on Saturday hit strongholds of the Hezbollah Shiite Muslim guerrilla group, bombed central Beirut for the first time, and pounded seaports and a key bridge. Then, after midnight and until 2:30 a.m., about 18 powerful explosions rocked southern Beirut, where Hezbollah is headquartered and much of the air assault has been aimed since cross-border hostilities erupted Wednesday.Israeli airstrikes were followed by more rockets attacks by Hezbollah, no doubt a cycle that will become increaasingly familiar over the next few days and weeks. Rockets hit as far south as Tiberias near the Sea of Galilee, much farther south than most expected and an ominous development.
