Israeli planes had launched fresh strikes, targeting the road linking north east Lebanon and Syria, Lebanese security officials said, as cited by the BBC. A village considered to be a Hezbollah stronghold, 15km from the border, was hit several times, police said on Tuesday. Israeli troops were also said to be engaged in heavy fighting with Hezbollah fighters in border areas in southern Lebanon. On Monday, Israel had agreed to a 48-hour suspension of air strikes to allow a probe into air strikes on the village of Qana in which some 54 civilians died. But less than a day after the agreement, Israeli planes bombed parts of southern Lebanon. Israel said it had been responding to attacks by Hezbollah.
