Israeli jets attack targets around Lebanon

Israeli warplanes staged a series of raids in northern, eastern and southern Lebanon early today, targeting suspected Hezbollah hideouts, striking a Lebanese army base and destroying roads, Lebanese security officials said.

The Israeli airstrikes, which caused at least one death and wounded others, came as the Israeli government was to meet to decide whether to broaden the military offensive, now in its third week, against Hezbollah guerrillas.
