At least 28 killed in continuing fighting in Lebanon

Israeli commandos landed on a southern hilltop near Lebanon’s Mediterranean coast today, fighting Hezbollah in close combat in a bid to destroy its rocket launchers, as warplanes launched fresh airstrikes across the country, killing at least 28 people.

Lebanese Prime Minister Fuad Saniora told visiting Arab foreign ministers that more than 40 additional people were killed in an Israeli attack on the border village of Houla.
