BEIRUT (Reuters) - Hizbollah guerrillas killed eight people in a rocket barrage on Israel and three Israeli soldiers in fighting in Lebanon on Thursday, the deadliest day of the war for Israel.
In a televised speech, Hizbollah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah said the group would target Tel Aviv if Israel attacked central Beirut. He said rocket attacks would cease if Israel halted its bombing campaign in Lebanon.
Despite 23 days of an intensive air and ground campaign to wipe them out, Hizbollah guerrillas continue to unleash rockets and battle Israeli troops on the ground in Lebanon.
Sixty-seven Israelis have been killed in the war including 40 soldiers.
Al Arabiya television said a fourth Israeli soldier had been killed
in Thursday's fighting.
The
army has carved out a "security zone" of 20 villages in south
Lebanon up to six km (four miles) from the border and will stay until
an international force arrives, Israeli TV said.
