Israel resumes airstrikes in Lebanon

Israeli troops met fierce resistance from Hezbollah guerrillas today as they crossed into Lebanon to seek tunnels and weapons for a second consecutive day as Israel refused to rule out a full-scale invasion.

Israeli warplanes also launched new airstrikes on Beirut’s southern suburbs, a Hezbollah stronghold, shortly after daybreak today, according to witnesses and Hezbollah’s al-Manar TV. But no casualties were immediately reported.
