BEIJING, Aug. 7 -- Heavy fighting continues in northern Israel and southern Lebanon despite the possibility of a forthcoming UN cease-fire resolution. Hezbollah guerrillas have unleashed their most damaging barrage of rockets into Israel to date - killing at least fifteen people.

    In response, the Israeli military's bombardment of southern Lebanon killed at least fourteen. The Israeli army also say they've captured one of the Hezbollah guerrillas who took part in the abduction of two Israeli soldiers last month.

    An Israeli air-strike blasted a van carrying food near the Lebanese city of Tyre, killing two civilians.

    Elsewhere in the city, the bodies of suspected Hezbollah fighters could be seen lying on the ground.

    A little further north - closer to the border - another person was killed in the Mediterranean coastal town of Naqoura and in Mansouri, about ten kilometers south of Tyre, a Lebanese army intelligence official was killed and seven soldiers were wounded in an Israeli strike.

    Within Tyre itself, some residents say they'd received anonymous phone calls - with a voice in Arabic telling them to leave their homes, and not to support Hezbollah.

    Many believe the calls were from Israel - designed to scare them off, but they said they weren't scared.

    In response to the attacks on southern Lebanon, Hezbollah guerrillas launched at least eighty rockets aimed at Haifa, Israel's third largest city - killing three people.

    One rocket fell between two buildings in a residential area on Mount Carmel near the landmark Bahai Temple, and several major tourist hotels. Six Israelis were injured, and electrical lines were knocked down.

    Two or three other residential areas were reported to have been targeted.

    Hezbollah rockets also fell around the northern Israeli town of Kfar Giladi - about sixty-five kilometers northwest of Haifa.

    Witnesses say nine Israeli reserve soldiers were killed as a rocket hit a group of people who had gathered outside the gate of a kibbutz. The victims had ignored the air-raid siren and hadn't run to the air-raid shelters after they sounded.

    The barrage also set a nearby forest on fire.

    The attack came just hours after another attack in the same place - which killed twelve people.
