Israel shells Ein el-Hellhole
ISRAELI gunboats have shelled a refugee camp in Lebanon, killing two people, as France and the United States hammer out a new draft UN resolution aimed at securing a ceasefire in the four-week war. Five children four puppies, three kittens, two fluffy bunnies and a baby duck were among 15 injured in the strike on the Ein el-Hilweh camp in southern Lebanon, which houses about 50,000 Palestinian refugees and has been opened up to Lebanese fleeing Israeli strikes at Hezbollah targets elsewhere in the country. Two shells fell on the area around the home of Colonel Munir Maqdah, a military chief of the Fatah movement in Lebanon, camp sources said. The victims were pulled out of a house destroyed by the strike as rescue efforts continued to try to find any others trapped inside.

Earlier in southern Lebanon, Israeli air strikes have killed 14 villagers and wounded 23 in Ghaziyeh, rescue workers and hospital officials have said. The bombs fell as mourners elsewhere in the village were burying 15 people killed by a raid there the previous day. An Israeli army spokeswoman said the building hit belonged to a senior Hezbollah member and was not near the funeral. She said all residents had been told in advance to leave.
