Israeli intelligence agency Mossad's head Meir Dagan said Lebanese Hezbollah guerrillas were still capable of fighting with Israel at the current level for a long time, local newspaper Ha'aretz reported on Friday.

However, Israeli Military Intelligence chief Amos Yadlin disagreed with the Mossad judgement, saying that the Lebanese Shiite group had been seriously damaged, the report said.

But both Dagan and Yadlin agreed during a security cabinet meeting on Thursday that Hezbollah still maintained the ability to command and control and still held long-range missiles, according to the report.

A military source said on Friday that at least 200 Hezbollah operatives had been killed during the over-two-week conflict, said Ha'aretz.

Lebanese security sources said that Israel Air Force (IDF) warplanes renewed attacks on suspected Hezbollah targets in southern Lebanon Friday morning, killing at least on person and wounding three others.

Israeli jets attacked targets at Lebanon's southern market town of Nabatiyeh at about 8:30 a.m. (0530 GMT), the sources said, adding that a Jordanian was killed by missile shrapnel and three others were wounded in the strike.

The Israeli massive offensive against Lebanese Hezbollah entered its 17th day Friday, which started on July 12 after two Israeli soldiers were kidnapped by the Shiite group Hezbollah in a cross-border attack.
