The Lebanese army has said Israeli warplanes have violated their airspace by flying missions over Beirut and elsewhere in the country.

Aid workers moved gingerly around unexploded bombs littering southern Lebanon today to deliver food and fuel to people cut off by weeks of fighting and to evacuate war wounded to hospitals, officials said.

Hezbollah and Israeli forces exchanged barrages of shells and rockets across the Lebanese border today and Israeli warplanes struck guerrilla positions in the heaviest clash in months between the two sides.
