Strikes located here
| August 4 | The destruction of four bridges on the main north-south coastal highway linking Beirut to Syria further sealed Lebanon from outside links, as the Israeli naval blockade and earlier strikes against roadways have largely closed off other access points. Two of the bridges completely leveled and the two others were left with large holes gouged into the structures, prompting army troops to block traffic on the roadways. Rescue workers, fearing that other corpses were still hidden under the collapsed concrete, searched through the rubble. Five civilians were killed and 15 wounded Friday when Israeli warplanes struck four bridges along the coastal highway leading north from Beirut towards the Syrian border, a Red Cross official and media reports said. The jets staged their first raids early in the morning on the coastal road 20 kilometers north of Beirut, including a main bridge near the "Casino du Liban," in Jounieh, they said. Moments later they hit the Fidar bridge in the village of Halat before |
