Israeli soldiers watch a plane trying to extinguish a fire that broke out after a rocket landed from Lebanon and fell near the northern Israeli town of Kiryat Shmona on July 18, 2006. Israel rejected calls for a ceasefire today as it pounded a Lebanese army barracks and flattened homes on the seventh day of an assault that has killed at least 240 people and sent tens of thousands fleeing for their lives. A civilian was killed in when a rocket hit a park in the northern Israeli resort of Nahariya in the latest of hundreds of rocket attacks by the Lebanese based Hezbollah guerrillas.
