JERUSALEM:

Israel decided to expand its ground offensive in Lebanon, and Hizbollah's leader vowed to turn southern Lebanon into a graveyard for Israeli troops and to unleash more rockets on the city of Haifa.

With world powers divided on a draft U.N. resolution to end the four-week-old war, Israeli troops thrust deeper into Lebanon and 11 Israeli soldiers were reported killed in fierce clashes.
