An Israeli air raid on the Lebanese town of Mashghara on Wednesday killed at least five people, medical sources said. The raid on the town in the Bekaa valley in eastern Lebanon struck a building where a local Hizbullah official lived, the sources said.
At least 998 people, mostly civilians, have been killed in Lebanon during four weeks of war between Israel and Hizbullah that was triggered on July 12 when the Lebanese guerrilla group captured two Israeli soldiers in a cross-border raid. Lebanese authorities say dozens more bodies are trapped under the rubble of buildings destroyed in Israeli air strikes. (Reuters)
