LEBANESE television stations said today that an Israeli aircraft had been shot down over Lebanon and showed footage of debris falling from the sky, but the Israeli military said no aircraft had been downed. "There was no such thing," an Israeli security source said.Lebanese security sources said they could not confirm that it was a plane, suggesting it might have been a fuel tank ditched by an aircraft.
Israeli aircraft pounded Lebanon today for the sixth day after Hizbollah guerrillas captured two Israeli soldiers and killed eight in a cross-border attack last Wednesday.
