Fighting inside Lebanese border
Israeli soldiers are fighting Hezbollah militants inside the Lebanese border, Israeli military officials say.
The clashes come as Israel keeps up its bombing of Lebanon, carrying out 80 air strikes early on Thursday.
Lebanon's president has called for an immediate ceasefire, calling Israel's offensive - which has killed 300 people and displaced 500,000 - a "massacre".
Bombed roads are hampering aid efforts, with the UN warning the humanitarian crisis is worsening by the hour.
The nine days of fighting - triggered by the capture of two Israeli soldiers by the militant Hezbollah group in a cross-border raid - have left 29 Israelis dead, including 15 civilians killed by rockets fired by Hezbollah into Israel.
