Israeli Ship Hit By Missile - No Injuries
Israeli aircraft destroyed the house of the leader of Hezbollah. Nasrallah survived, however. Shortly thereafter, Hezbollah managed to hit an Israeli missile ship off the coast of Lebanon, there are no reported injuries and the amount of damage is not being reported.
Nasrallah also promised that IDF naval ships maintaining a sea blockade on Lebanese ports would be "on fire."
Indeed, a short while later, a navy missile ship deployed off the southern Lebanese coast was targeted on Friday night. The ship sustained light damage and no injuries were reported.
The comments came after Hizbullah threatened to strike Haifa and beyound with improved Katyusha rockets in response to the destruction of Hizbullah headquarters in southern Beirut and Nasrallah's private residence.
In an urgent flash, the organization's al-Manar TV station said the building housing Hizbullah's leadership was destroyed. It did not elaborate, nor say whether there were any casualties.
The report on the destruction of Nasrallah's home was announced by official Hizbullah media outlets.
It is generally known that Nasrallah, whose movements are treated with a high level of secrecy, moves from one place to another, particularly during the Israeli offensive.
Prime Minister Ehud Olmert's meeting with the "Group of Seven" security-related cabinet advisors ended a short time earlier on Friday evening. At the meeting, the prime minister approved a new list of targets for ongoing IDF operations in Lebanon.
It is becoming a very tough fight from the sounds of it.
UPDATE: The Real Ugly American was on this one early.
UPDATE: AP is reporting the ship was severely damaged. The terrorists appear to have used an explosive-laden drone aircraft to carry out the attack. Which means the helpful little how-to manual from AFP came in handy.
