Four United Nations observers have been killed in an Israeli air strike in southern Lebanon.

The Israeli bombs struck a United Nations observation post in Southern Lebanon, where Israel wants to control an area until international forces are deployed.

UN Secretary General Kofi Annan said he was "shocked" at the "apparently deliberate targeting" of the post. Israel has expressed "deep regret".

The deployment of international forces in southern Lebanon will be discussed at international crisis talks to be held in Rome on Wednesday. The summit will feature US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and Mr Annan, as well as foreign ministers and top officials from five European and four Arab countries.
