Seven Lebanon's civilians were killed and four more injured in Israeli air
raids on the east road of al-Namriah-Nabatiyeh in south Lebanon, local Future
television reported on Saturday.
The Israeli attacks have continued on south Lebanon Saturday despite several
international interventions with cease fire plans.
Also on Saturday, Israel rejected a request by the UN for a three-day
ceasefire to get in supplies and allow civilians to leave the war zone in
southern Lebanon.
The economical impact of the attack is leaning heavily on the people who are
still in south Lebanon. Several aid ships coming from several gulf countries
have docked in an attempt to provide some humanitarian help to the Lebanese
public, said the report.
Moreover, several aid trucks were unable to reach their destinations and
Israeli officials claimed that Hezbollah is trying to create a crisis despite
the fact that they allowed a safe passage for the trucks.
Meanwhile, diplomatic efforts have been underway to stop the Hezbollah-Israel
conflict which entered its 18th day on Saturday, as nearly 600 Lebanese and over
50 Israelis have been killed in the firefights.
Violence between Israel and Hezbollah erupted on July 12 when Hezbollah
guerillas abducted two Israeli soldiers and killed eight in a cross-border
attack.
Hezbollah has demanded that Israel release prisoners held in Israeli jails
for release of its two abducted soldiers, but Israel has rejected the idea,
insisting on unconditional release.
