It was a relatively quiet night. There were a couple of bombs within 2 or 3 km but generally, throughout the country, few new incidents. The Israeli emphasis seemed to be very much on Hezbollah sites in south, close to the border.
It was reported that the Security Council would meet the next day to receive a report from its delegation that had been in area and that Condoleezza Rice might travel to region on Friday.
Attacks on the orchards below us continued throughout the morning until about 2.30 p.m. After that hardly a sound of aircraft. What we had seen seemed to confirm Israeli statements that they are now targeting Hezbollah locations and supply routes only. We suspected that Hezbollah were using agricultural roads through the orchards below us to move missile launchers.
A local radio station reported that the Electricity Authority bill collectors were working in Jounieh and were threatening to cut off supplies if bills were not paid. They were lucky to have a supply to cut!
We continued to spend most of time in the basement and sleep there. I passed the time reading a biography of Adolf Hitler. It seemed appropriate somehow.
