Social media video shows flames shooting up from a residential area in Jenach, just north of Beirut airport.

It was one of several strikes on the capital's outskirts.

Israel says it killed a top Hezbollah commander.

And the group announced funeral prayers for another official.

Meanwhile, Lebanon's army is withdrawing from some areas of the country's south after Israel announced plans to destroy villages there and create what it calls a buffer zone to prevent Shia Muslim Hezbollah militants from firing rockets across the border.

Residents of some Christian villages there say they feel abandoned.

All three of the UN peacekeepers killed are from Indonesia, which has also pledged to send troops for a future international force in Gaza.

One was killed by what Indonesia's foreign ministry called indirect artillery fire.

Two others by what the UN called an explosion of unknown origin that destroyed their vehicle.

Indonesia's foreign minister is calling for a swift, thorough and transparent investigation.

Israel says it's trying to figure out whether its troops or Hezbollah were responsible.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says his military's aims in Iran are beyond halfway complete, but that Israel is widening its invasion of Lebanon.

Colleagues and relatives carried the coffins of TV correspondent Fatma Fatuni, her cameraman brother Mohamed Fatuni, and another veteran TV journalist, Ali Shaib, a household name in Lebanon.

Lebanon's president called the killings a blatant crime.

The Washington-based Watchdog Committee to Protect Journalists says it's investigating what it calls a disturbing pattern of Israel accusing journalists of being terrorists.
