Israeli shells hit UN posts in Lebanon, no one hurt
BEIRUT, July 19 (Reuters) - Two Israeli artillery shells on Wednesday landed inside a compound run by U.N. peacekeepers in south Lebanon who were sheltering 36 civilians, but no one was hurt, a spokesman for the UNIFIL force said.
The shells caused material damage to the position in Maroun al-Ras, an area that had seen heavy fighting between Israel and Hizbollah guerrillas during the day.
Another Israeli artillery shell landed in the UNIFIL headquarters compound in the southern town of Naqoura, he said. No one was wounded.
In 1996, during Israel's Grapes of Wrath campaign in Lebanon, an Israeli jet struck a UNIFIL compound in the southern village of Qana, killing 106 civilians sheltering inside.
Israeli air strikes on Lebanon killed 56 civilians and a Hizbollah fighter on Wednesday, the deadliest toll of the eight-day-old war, as thousands of villagers fled north and more foreigners were evacuated.
Despite international diplomatic efforts, there was no sign Israel or its Lebanese Shi'ite foes were ready to heed the Beirut government's pleas for an immediate halt to a war that has killed at least 292 in Lebanon and 25 in Israel.
