Israeli warplanes drop leaflets over Beirut, causing panic

JERUSALEM: Israeli planes dropping propaganda leaflets over Beirut on Friday caused a number of loud booms in the sky, terrifying residents of the capital. AFP correspondents in Beirut heard four successive booms at short intervals, before clouds of paper leaflets appeared high in the air, as observed by AFP's photographer. State media said that the noise was "caused by Israeli aircraft flying at a very low altitude and dropping leaflets over a number of areas, specifically in Verdun, Hamra, and Ain al-Mreisseh", western Beirut neighbourhoods.
