Israeli Airstrikes on Beirut, Northern Lebanon Kill 12

以轰炸贝鲁特及黎北部打死两人

Israeli warplanes have carried out new air strikes across Lebanon, pounding a Shi'ite suburb of Beirut and other suspected Hezbollah targets near the Syrian border. Lebanese medics say the air attacks Friday killed at least 12 people and wounded 18 others.

Arab media reports say one Israeli soldier died and at least one suffered serious wounds in clashes with Hezbollah Friday in southern Lebanon. The Israeli army has not commented. Hezbollah also fired rockets at northern Israel, wounding at least two people.

Israeli newspapers are reporting Friday that senior Israeli military commanders are angry at their government for postponing an expanded ground offensive in southern Lebanon. A new Israeli poll indicates Prime Minister Ehud Olmert is losing public support as more Israelis believe they are either losing the war or that it will end in a stalemate.

以色列战斗机在黎巴嫩各地展开新一轮空袭，不断轰炸贝鲁特的一个什叶派郊区和靠近叙利亚边境其他被怀疑为真主党目标的地方。黎巴嫩医务急救人员说，在星期五的空袭造成至少12人丧生，18人受伤。

阿拉伯媒体报导说，在黎巴嫩南部与真主党发生的冲突中，有一名以色列士兵丧生，至少一人受重伤。以色列军方尚未就此发表评论。真主党向以色列北部发射火箭，至少两人受伤。

以色列报纸星期五报导说，以色列军方高级指挥官对政府推迟扩大在黎巴嫩南部的地面进攻不满。一项新的以色列民意调查显示，以色列总理奥尔默特的民众支持率正在下降，因为越来越多的以色列人相信，或者他们正在输掉这场战争，或者将陷入僵持不下的局面。
