'Israel is continuing to subject Lebanon to strikes by land, sea and air, following the capture of two Israeli soldiers by Hezbollah militants. More than 50 people, mostly civilians, have been killed in the attacks. Israeli forces fired at Beirut's airport setting fuel tanks on fire, and struck the main Beirut-Damascus road.'
An Israeli diplomat called Hezbollah rocket attacks a 'major escalation' in the violence. Oh, that's a 'major escalation' on the Israeli rocket and air attacks on the Gaza Strip and Southern Lebanon is it?
