Israeli warplanes continued airstrikes in Lebanon, killing at least 10
civilians overnight, and ground troops also made limited attacks across the
border, security sources said on Wednesday.
The first airstrikes of the night came shortly after midnight and continued
until dawn. All the blasts appeared to be from hits to Beirut's southern
suburbs, a Hezbollah stronghold.
In the meantime, Israeli military officials said unspecified number of ground
troops also launched operations just across the border, looking for tunnels and
weapons used by Hezbollah guerillas.
