I'm now back for a few days leave after I've been called to the army (air force) over a week ago.
Depends if you tell the civilians to leave or else near Marwaheen, and then the escaping car convoy is attacked by an Isreali F16 killing 20+
The launches of rockets to the coastal cities of Naharia, Akko (acre) and Haifa are mainly from the vicinity of Tzor (Tyr). One of the reasons for this is that in Tyr there's a UN base and the refugees are flocking there. What the Hizballa is trying to achieve is a second "Kanna village". In "grapes of wrath" operation Israeli artillery returned fire to a lauch site located by artillary radar. That site turned out to be just outside the fense of a UN base with hundreds of refugees hiding inside. You can guess what happened.
I don't know about that particular incident but vehicles heading out of the region (general north direction) are not normally attacked. Vehicles driving in the opposite direction take a great risk. If that car was wandering around Tyr when rockets were launched and the airforce was hunting the launchers, than it's too bad.
In recent days the UN has arranged convoys going N from Tyr along the coast. The airfoce takes great care not to attack these convoys that the UN announce. It does not disturb Hizballa to launch rocket at these times though. In the following days, as refugees and the UN move out of Tyr I guess we'll see more and more attacks in that region.
We destroyed a lot of rocket trucks and launchers in south Lebanon. All that I know of save one were in the outskirts of villages and town or even between the buildings. The one exception was in a narrow ravine some distance from a village. The ravine is now a valley.
While the Hizballa still have enough portable launchers, the number of quality truck launchers for the bigger rockets is getting low. The airforce is also getting more efficient in hunting the launchers and in many of the massive launches the rocket truck is counter attacked within minutes. Their volleys become much less acurate and a lot of the rockets fall into the see or in fields. Still, enough fall in the cities too.
As for Beirut, the pictures on TV are deciving. Only a very specific region in the south city was bombed (the Shii). The rest of the city is pretty much undamaged, though I imagine the population is terrified. One very probable possibility is that Nasralla and the Hizballa leaders are taking refuge in the Maroon (the Cristian) part of the city they know Israel will not bomb.
The suffering and the damage caused to Lebanon is un fortunate. Lebanon is the neibour I had the highest expectations of, as it is the most advanced and open to the west country of them. In addition, Israel has no dispute or claims from Lebanon (except for keeping their border quite). However, Israelies will not die just because Lebanonese could not be bothered to deal with Hizballa. When we spot a launcher we hit it. Saving one life on our side is worth the moral price of killing a few civilians on the other side if the launcher is in a town.
Lebanonese are capable people with a brain. They can cry to the world how much they suffer or they can get off their bellybutton and do something to restrain Hizballa. The Lebanon army (not "south Lebanon army" someone linked a wiki page about. This army doesn't exist since 2000) has not been attacked by Israel except their coastal radars since they were aiding Hizballa. Lebanon goverment has still done nothing and keep its army idle. OK, not completely idle, it fires AAA at Israeli planes just out of bordom I suppose.
Bozon
btw, by the time it took me to write this I was interrupted 3 times by rocket attacks (I live in Haifa). It does gives a great satisfaction when we deliver 250 kg explosives on a launcher that has just fired at my home. I hate Hizballa for making me do this and feel good about it.
