Israeli warships and aircraft were clamping down on Lebanon's air, sea and land infrastructure on Friday, three days after Hezbollah guerrillas kidnapped two Israeli soldiers.
Israeli rescue services report a large barrage of rockets hitting northern Israel late Friday. Also, three explosions have been heard in Beirut.
The rocket attacks on Israel have prompted Israel's Cabinet to approve continued military operations in Lebanon, a spokesman for Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert said.
In the past two days, about 200 rockets have been fired from Lebanon at Israeli targets, according to The Associated Press.
Two missiles fired from Lebanon toward the northern Israeli city of Haifa were "made in Iran," Israeli military sources said.
