Hizbollah missiles rain down on Haifa in northern Israel
Ground Offensive Denied
Israel has denied reports its troops have launched a ground offensive in Lebanon against Hizbollah militants.
Wire reports initially said its soldiers were hunting out Hizbollah missile bases.
But it later went back on the account and also denied reports that an Israeli F16 jet had been shot down over Lebanon.
Meanwhile, Hizbollah missiles have again been falling on Haifa, in northern Israel.
Israel has already warned it will knock out Lebanon's electricity grid if the rocket attacks continue.

The raids also damaged the homes of Hizbollah officials in the east of the country, killing five people. The air strikes came after Hizbollah rocket attacks killed eight people in the Israeli city of Haifa on Sunday.
Hizbollah leader Spayed Hassan Nasrallah said the strike on Israel's third-biggest city was retaliatory and promised more "surprises".
Meanwhile, 40 Britons have been airlifted out of Beirut, the Foreign Office said. There are 10,000 Britons in the country.
Israel's military campaign in Lebanon was launched after Hizbollah captured two Israeli soldiers and killed eight others.
Over 160 Lebanese have been killed in the fighting, nearly all civilians. There have been around 24 Israeli casualties, including 12 civilians hit in rocket attacks.
