CaptionThe victim of an Israeli rocket attack lies in the main road. Conflict had been sparked by the capture of two Israeli soldiers by the militant Islamist organization Hezbollah, in a cross-border raid three weeks earlier. Israel responded by bombing areas across southern Lebanon and in the southern suburbs of Beirut, which it said harbored Hezbollah militia and missile launchers.
