Over 90 civilians have lost their lives in the Israeli assault on Lebanon which has targeted the national infrastructure of the country including all major highways and bridges throughout the south of the country. While in the Gaza Strip it has been estimated by the Palestinian Human Rights Protection Center [PCHR] that over 60 Palestinian has died and more than 200 have been wounded during the recent Israeli military incursion.
Israeli troops entered Southern Lebanon and besieged Beirut after members of Hezbollah captured two soldiers from the Israeli occupied area of Lebanon called the Shebaa Farms.
