9:48 pm
shell the southern towns and villages and there was a lot of heavy shelling in the towns of yarin, albustan. and also some other areas infarkela as well, but the biggest and most major development today was the israeli shling in industrial site in the town of aziye which is just south of the town of sydon and that is city which is the first city in south lebanon, it's very basically relatively far away from the border, it's closer to the capital beirot and this is why it came as a shock to many, especially since the last time there was a strike that was near syden, but it targeted a specific vehicle uh, this time we're talking about targeting a whole site and that areas known to be industrial site, there are several factories, some media have said that we had there was an oil factory, other media have said that the factory, one of the factories was that for motors, for generators,
9:49 pm
electricity generators and another one which had lot of fuel in it, and so therefore this is why it caused... also all of this bombing and it was lot of explosions were heard near the towns of and and saiden and many people of course were as a result of that we don't have exact numbers when it comes to the casualties yet, but it definitely is considered major development that will not be taken lightly by the resistance since it does go beyond the scope of the rules of engagement. the enemy military says in has carried out a missile attack a british cargo ship in the gulf of aiden in the latest reprisal operation in support of palestinians in gaza. yemeniss assert that the operations will rage on as long as the gaza war and all out us support for israel continues. brings us more from sanaah. in yet another operation
