U.N.: Israeli airstrike hits U.N. observer post
Sources: Condoleezza Rice floats plan to end conflict

Tuesday, July 25, 2006; Posted: 5:38 p.m. EDT (21:38 GMT)

BEIRUT, Lebanon (CNN) -- An airstrike hit a U.N. post in the southern Lebanese city of Khiyam late Tuesday, causing casualties, according to the U.N. Interim Force in Lebanon.

Lebanese security forces said it was an Israeli airstrike and four U.N. observers were killed, but UNIFIL said it had no further information on the attack.

UNIFIL sent a rescue-and-medical team to the area, and the team was trying to clear rubble early Wednesday. UNIFIL said there were at least 14 incidents of firing close to the post since Tuesday afternoon.

The Israel Defense Forces said it was looking into the report, which came as U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice proposed an ambitious plan in which international military forces would help the Lebanese government stabilize southern Lebanon, Lebanese political sources said.
