Months of near-daily exchanges have killed hundreds in Lebanon, mostly fighters, and dozens in Israel and the annexed Golan, forcing tens of thousands on both sides to flee their homes.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Tuesday announced an expansion of the country's war goals to include the return of northern Israeli residents.
Critics of Netanyahu in Israel have accused the prime minister of dragging out the war. Thousands gathered again in Tel Aviv on Saturday night demanding a deal to free captives still held by Hamas. Dozens of Israeli warplanes were"widely" striking Hezbollah targets in southern Lebanon"to eliminate threats against the citizens of Israel," said military spokesman Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari.
AFPTV footage showed mourners gathering in the Lebanese capital for the funerals of three of the slain Hezbollah members. Germany said there was"an urgent need" to defuse tensions. The UN has also voiced concern about"heightened escalation" and called for"maximum restraint" from all sides.
