BEIRUT, Lebanon - Israeli warplanes dropped bombs early Thursday on a bunker in south Beirut where senior Hezbollah leaders were thought to be, the military said. Military officials said a wave of aircraft dropped 23 tons of explosives on the bunker. The officials, speaking on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to talk to reporters, said top Hezbollah figures were thought to be there, possibly including Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah. A military source said dozens of aircraft took part in the operation sometime before midnight on Wednesday.

HOPEFULLY ISRAEL DIDN'T DROP LEAFLETS GIVING ADVANCE WARNING OF THE STRIKE SO THESE COCKROACHES COULD SCURRY AWAY. UNCLE STICKY SAYS, "THEY'RE PUDDIN'!!!"

IAF fighter jets dropped over 20 tons in bombs late Wednesday night on a Hizbullah bunker, possibly the hiding place of the group's leader Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah, in the Burj al-Arjana refugee camp in southeast Beirut. It was still unclear who was in the bunker at the time and what their fate was, but IDF sources said the bunker was totally destroyed and that all that was left was a crater.

The IDF obtained intelligence information late Wednesday night that Hizbullah leaders possibly including Nasrallah had taken refuge inside the bunker. A wave of aircraft immediately took to the air and dropped 23 tons of explosives on the bunker.

IDF sources would not confirm that Nasrallah was in the bunker at the time, but said that high-ranking Hizbullah leaders were inside, and that it appeared that the attack was successful.
