Israeli planes stage mock raid over Hezbollah stronghold

Israeli warplanes staged mock raids over Hezbollah strongholds in south Beirut today in the heaviest show of aerial power since the August 14 ceasefire.

Israeli fighter jets dived down at least six times to zoom low over the southern suburbs before roaring up to the sky.

No bombs were reported, but the roar of the jets caused concern among residents, some of whom took to the rooftops and balconies to watch.
