Body of Israeli soldier found in south Lebanon: TV

DUBAI (Reuters) – Al Arabiya television said on Friday the
Israeli army had found the body of an Israeli soldier who had
previously been reported missing.

It later said the body was found in southern Lebanon, but
gave no more details.

Earlier on Friday, Israel’s army confirmed that four
soldiers had been killed and several wounded in fierce clashes
with Hizbollah guerrillas just inside Lebanon on Thursday.

Israel has so far failed to stop Hizbollah cross-border
rocket attacks, despite 10 days of bombardment which have
killed 345 people in Lebanon and forced half a million to leave
their homes. About 90 percent of those killed were civilians.

At least 34 Israeli troops and civilians have been killed,
almost all in fighting with Hizbollah guerrillas or by rockets
fired by the Lebanese group.
