Israeli ground troops enter into North Lebanon BEIRUT: Israeli soldiers are fighting Hezbollah militants inside the Lebanese border, Israeli military officials say.
The clashes come as Israel keeps up itââ¬â¢s bombing of Lebanon, carrying out 80 air strikes early on Thursday.
The Lebanese prime minister has called for an immediate ceasefire, saying that 300 people have been killed and 500,000 displaced by the violence.
Bombed roads are hampering aid efforts, with the UN warning the humanitarian crisis is worsening by the hour.
The nine days of fighting - triggered by the capture of two Israeli soldiers by the militant Hezbollah group in a cross-border raid - have left 29 Israelis dead, including 15 civilians killed by rockets fired by Hezbollah into Israel.
Many thousands of people continue to flee Lebanon, and a number of countries have sent ships and helicopters to move their nationals.
