BEIRUT, Lebanon (AP) -- Israeli warplanes Sunday hit a minibus carrying Lebanese fleeing border villages, killing three and wounding 13, Lebanese security forces said. Hezbollah guerrilas fired rockets into northern Israel, killing at least two people.
Israeli troops continued to hold a Lebanese border village that they battled their way into on Saturday, but did not appear to be advancing, Lebanese security officials said. Warplanes and artillery were heavily battering areas across the south.
Israeli Defense Minister Amir Peretz told the Cabinet that the current offensive is not an invasion of Lebanon, but rather a series of limited raids into the area.
Peretz also said that Israel would accept a temporary international force, preferably headed by NATO, deployed along the Lebanese border to keep Hezbollah guerrillas away from Israel, according to officials in Peretz's office.
Israel hit the southern port of Sidon for the first time in its campaign, destroying a religious complex linked to Hezbollah and wounding four people. More than 35,000 people streaming north from the heart of the war zone had swamped the city, which is teetering under the weight of refugees.
