AN "Israeli" helicopter has fired a rocket into the building housing Hizbullah`s television station in the group`s stronghold in southern Beirut, wounding six people, witnesses said.
The raid in the Haret Hreik neighbourhood which houses Hizbullah`s leadership and media offices also slightly damaged al-Manar television headquarters.
One of the wounded was an employee at the station, its chief said.
The strike came two hours after aircraft bombed two runways at Beirut international airport as part of an "Israeli" assault in Lebanon in retaliation for Wednesday`s Hizbullah attacks in which two "Israeli" soldiers were captured and eight killed.
