People search the rubble of a destroyed building, minutes after an Israeli warplane missiles attack in the center of the southern coastal city of Tyre, Lebanon, Wednesday July 26, 2006. Hezbollah inflicted heavy casualties on Israeli troops as they battled for a key hilltop town in southern Lebanon for a fourth day Wednesday, with as many as 14 soldiers reported killed and Lebanese officials confirmed that four U.N. observers were killed by an Israeli airstrike on their post Tuesday night.
