2000, the station was broadcasting around the clock. Al-Manar was soon carried by many satellite providers. However, starting with the removal of the station from TARBS World TV in Australia in 2003, many satellite television providers stopped featuring it. Until then the station was featured by the following providers at one time or another: Intelsat, broadcasting to North America New Skies Satellites NSS-803, Africa and parts of Europe ArabSat, Middle East, North Africa, and parts of Europe Hispasat, South America AsiaSat, Asia Nilesat Eutelsat, Europe, North Africa, and Middle East SES Astra, Europe According to the BBC on 26 July 2006, Al-Manar had three satellite signals: ArabSat 2B at 30.5 degrees east Badr 3 at 26 degrees east NileSat 102 at 7 degrees west Al-Manar during 2006 Lebanon War Israeli Air Force strike The channel was continuously struck by missiles during Israeli air raids. The Israeli Air Force attacks on 13 July 2006 led to injury of three employees. The attack on Al-Manar's facilities shortly followed another strike against the Rafic Hariri International Airport in Beirut earlier that morning. Despite the attack, the station remained on air, broadcasting from undisclosed locations. The IDF bombed Al-Manar's Beirut complex again on 16 July causing fire in the complex and surrounding buildings. The station's signal disappeared briefly several times, then continued normal programming. Illegality of bombing The bombing of media outlets violates international law when they are not being used for military purposes ("it is unlawful to attack facilities that merely shape civilian opinion; neither directly contributes to military operations"), according to Human Rights Watch. This incident has been condemned by the International Federation of Journalists. The Israel Association of Journalists withdrew from the federation due to this criticism, claiming that Al-Manar employees "are not journalists, they are terrorists". The New York based Committee to Protect Journalists, has also expressed alarm over the incident as "it (Al-Manar) does not appear based on a monitoring of its broadcasts today to be serving any discernible military function, according to CPJ’s analysis." Content Al-Manar's programming consists of 25% music videos and fillers, 25% series and dramas, 25% talk shows, and finally 25% news and family shows.
