A Map of Beirut you won't see...

Damage in Beirut has been confined to a very small area - Hezbollah command and control centres are less than 1% of the whole city.

I don't think the BBC gets their images from the "IDF propaganda bureau". The BBC is hardly what I would call "pro-Israel".

One problem with Beirut (most of Lebanon in fact) is that there are a lot of places that look like they've just been bombed by Israel, which were bombed by Israel twenty years ago. You can go to a lot of places in Lebanon that haven't been bombed in 20 years and still find scenes that look like the Israeli planes just left moments before.

I recently saw a photo on CNN.com that showed an empty Lebanese beach abandonded, of course, during the recent fighting. I wondered for a moment whether anyone had been on the beach when the large building in the picture was bombed (the building looked to have been severly hit). That is, I wondered that until I read the rest of the caption. It read "A beach in Lebanon stands abandoned following recent attacks (the building in the background was destroyed when Israel invaded in 1982)".

It isn't true what you are saying about most of Lebanon still destroyed from Israeli occupation 20 years ago. Pretty much all buildings and establishmets have been re-built, especially in Beirut and in the southern areas. So these destroyed buildings that we are seeing today have been destroyed recently.
