Lebanon seeks Israeli ceasefire

BBC NEWS | Middle East | Lebanon seeks Israeli ceasefire: "Lebanese ministers have called for a ceasefire with Israel, saying that all means should be used to end 'open aggression' against their country.

International calls for restraint are growing, with Russia, France and the EU saying Israel's response to the capture of two soldiers was disproportionate.

Meanwhile Israeli jets bombed the main Lebanese army air base in Bekaa Valley.
