Israeli air strikes kill at least four in eastern Lebanon
font size    

At least four people were killed and dozens wounded in Israeli air strikes in eastern Lebanon overnight Sunday, medics source said.

The two overnight air raids took place in the Lebanon eastern region of Baalbeck.

The source said that rescuers have pulled four bodies from the rubble of the building hit by Israeli warplanes in the attack, while dozens of injured have been sent to the local hospital for treatment.

Israeli troops battled Hezbollah guerrillas across southern Lebanon Sunday and air strikes battered Beirut's suburbs as the Israeli army pressed on with its offensive in the hours until a UN- brokered truce begins.

Meanwhile, Lebanese Hezbollah fired over 200 rockets on Sunday across cities and towns in north Israel, despite a UN Security Council resolution approved by both Israel and Lebanon.

The resolution, unanimously adopted by UN Security Council on Friday, calls for Israel's withdrawal and authorizes an increase of the existing UN force in Lebanon to 15,000 troops to help Lebanese government troops take control of south Lebanon as Israel withdraws.
