Lebanon has called for a ceasefire with Israel, claiming that all means should be used to end "open aggression" against their country.

International calls for restraint have also been growing, with Russia, France and the EU tagging Israel's response to the capture of two soldiers was disproportionate.

Meanwhile Israeli jets bombed the main Lebanese military air base in Bekaa Valley.

Israel has imposed an air and sea blockade on Lebanon following the two soldiers' capture by Hezbollah a day earlier.

Israeli warships have blocked Lebanese ports, and its international airport was closed after Israeli bombing.

Raids on targets across south Lebanon have killed at least 48 civilians, while another died in Hezbollah attacks on Israel, BBC reported.
