A total of 17 people were killed and at least 53 others wounded in Israeli aircraft strikes across Lebanon on Monday.
Eight of the dead were Lebanese soldiers killed in a northern Lebanese port. Israel said it was targeting northern radar stations because they had been used by Hezbollah to hit an Israeli warship on Friday.
The strikes came as the Israeli military said a Hezbollah rocket had hit an area south of the port city of Haifa, the southernmost point ever hit by the Lebanese guerrillas in six days of escalating fighting that followed last week's capture by Hezbollah of two Israeli soldiers.
