Hizbollah kills 11 in deadliest day for Israel
Hizbollah guerrillas killed eight people in a rocket barrage on Israel and three Israeli soldiers in clashes in Lebanon on Thursday, the deadliest day of the war for Israel in 23 days of fighting.
As world powers struggled to agree on a U.N. resolution to end the fighting, both sides threatened to escalate the war.
In a televised speech, Hizbollah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah said the group would target Tel Aviv if Israel attacked central Beirut. Israel vowed to destroy Lebanon's infrastructure if the threat was carried out.
"If you strike Beirut, the Islamic Resistance will strike Tel Aviv and it is able to do so," Nasrallah said, in the first apparent confirmation that Hizbollah has longer-range missiles capable of hitting the city 130 km (80 miles) from the border.
