Beirut, August 6

Israeli warplanes flew low over the Lebanese capital Beirut on Tuesday, with witnesses saying they could see the planes with the naked eye and creating one of the largest sonic booms heard by residents in years.

The flyovers and sonic booms took place minutes before Hezbollah head Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah was to begin an address to mark the one-week memorial of the Lebanese armed group's top military commander Fuad Shukr, killed in an Israeli strike last week in Beirut's southern suburbs. Reuters

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind.
