.The United Nations says Israeli tanks burst through the gates of its peacekeeping force base in southern Lebanon after three platoons of Israeli soldiers

.The Israeli military says as of 3 pm (13:00 GMT), about 115 rockets were fired by Hezbollah into Israel today. Earlier, Hezbollah announced it carried out a rocket attack on the Kiryat Shmona settlement in northern Israel and hit an army base in the Tzurit settlement

. Israel is weighing up its response to Iran’s ballistic missile attack. The defense minister says it will be “painful, precise and surprising”.

Cluster bombs

.Hezbollah accused Israel of inundating border towns in southern Lebanon with internationally banned cluster munitions. It said the Israeli military bombed the area between the towns of Hanine and Tayri with rockets loaded with banned cluster bombs. “We are not surprised at all by the new barbaric crime, which is added to Israel’s record of crimes against the Lebanese and Palestinian peoples,” Hezbollah said in a statement. The use of cluster munitions in or near populated areas is prohibited under the Geneva Conventions as they pose a threat to the lives of civilians.

No military solution

With no sign of the war easing, UN peacekeepers in Lebanon warned against a “catastrophic” regional conflict erupting. Andrea Tenenti, the spokesman for the United Nations peacekeeping mission UNIFIL, said he fears Israeli attacks on Hezbollah could soon spiral “into a regional conflict with catastrophic impact for everyone”. There is “no military solution”, Tenenti added.
