Israeli warplanes struck at Delhamiyeh, near Damour, which was hit in a raid three days ago. Israeli jets also pounded Jarmak, Wadi al- Akhdar, and Zifta, near the town of Nabatiyeh, a Palestinian stronghold. The same area was attacked last Friday in the first Israeli air operation against Lebanon in five weeks.
