Radio Tadamon!: Israel Attacks Gaza & Lebanon.

As the Israeli military launched a major military assault on Lebanon and 
the ongoing siege of the Gaza Strip Radio Tadamon! visited the Palestinian 
refugee camps of Beirut. Voices featured in this episode of Radio Tadamon! 
draw parallels between the escalating military attacks on Lebanon and the 
ongoing Israeli occupation of the West Bank and Gaza Strip.

Over 300 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 70 Palestinian has died and more than 
230 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 northern Israel. While in the Gaza 
Strip Palestinian resistance factions continue to hold an Israeli soldier, 
maintaining the demand that Israel release all women & children prisoners 
incarcerated in Israeli jails. In Lebanon Hezbollah is calling for the 
release of Lebanese prisoners from Israeli jails in return for the 
captured soldiers.
