Описание: (20 Apr 1996) T/I: 10:31:12


Israeli warplanes continued to pound suspected hezbollah sites in Southern Lebanon on Saturday (20/4), despite frantic diplomatic efforts to stop the conflict. Rockets exploded near Qalilyeh and Hinniyeh, while Israeli gunships remain stationed off the coast of Tyre. Meanwhile, a funeral procession for the victims of the Qana raid turned into a demonstration against Israel.
