As Middle Situation Continues to Worsen,
UN calls for Lebanon peace force
Israeli Defense Minister Amir Peretz said today that Israel intends to create a buffer zone in southern Lebanon to stop the rocket attacks from Hezbollah.
"We intend to complete this operation. We have no intention of allowing anyone to stop us before we complete the creation of a buffer zone," Peretz said.
In the other developments, UN Secretary General Kofi Annan and UK Prime Minister Tony Blair have called for an international force to be sent to Lebanon to stop attacks on Israel.
Mr Blair said the force could 'stop the bombardment coming over into Israel and therefore gives Israel a reason to stop its attacks on Hezbollah'.
The calls came as Israel struck targets across Lebanon for a sixth day, killing 15 people in air strikes in the north.
