Hey guys according to Al-Jazeera TV, they say that Israeli TV has admitted that 12 soldiers have died in a Hizballah rocket attack in Northern Israel, but BBC is kind of late in updating haha.
Hezbollah launches rocket barrage
Israeli raids are continuing in southern Lebanon
At least nine people are feared dead in Hezbollah rocket attacks on northern Israel, as the UN considers a draft resolution aimed at halting fighting.
Witnesses reported a huge barrage fired on Kiryat Shmona and other towns from across the Lebanese border.
The attacks came as Israel continued raids in Lebanon which killed at least eight people.
The UN draft demands that Hezbollah halt all attacks and Israel stop all offensive military operations.
Correspondents say a vote at the UN could come on Monday or Tuesday.
Israeli response
A spokesman for the Israeli ambulance service said Sunday's rocket attacks on northern Israel were the heaviest so far during the conflict.
At least 15 people were injured in the attacks, some of them seriously.

Eyewitnesses said the barrage had lasted more than 15 minutes.
Many of the casualties came in the town of Kfar Giladi, where reports say a residential building was hit.
Some of the dead were said to be reservist soldiers.
Israeli artillery responded with heavy fire across the border into southern Lebanon.
Hezbollah has fired more than 3,000 rockets into northern Israel since the conflict began.
Meanwhile five Lebanese civilians died early on Sunday in an Israeli air raid on the village of Ansar, according to Lebanese sources.
Reports say three others were killed in an attack on the coastal town of Naqura.
Israel's campaign began three weeks ago after Hezbollah militants captured two Israeli soldiers.
In other developments:
The Israeli military said two reservists had been killed in separate clashes with Hezbollah fighters in southern Lebanon. They were the first reservists to die in the offensive
Israeli air strikes targeted roads in Lebanon's eastern Bekaa Valley, virtually cutting it off from the outside world
Positions in the region held by the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, a pro-Syrian group, were also attacked
Lebanese critical
The UN draft resolution, agreed after much debate between France and the US, calls for a "full cessation of hostilities based upon, in particular, the immediate cessation by Hezbollah of all attacks and the immediate cessation by Israel of all offensive military operations".
HAVE YOUR SAY
The hatred for each other, between Jews and Arabs in the region, is so deep that even a UN resolution may not help - it may just provide a short term remedy

The French and US envoys to the UN said they were encouraged by the initial reactions from others on the 15-member Security Council.
The White House said President George W Bush was happy with the draft but Lebanese officials criticised its failure to mention a call for an Israeli withdrawal from southern Lebanon.
Senior Israeli officials said they were broadly happy with the text of the resolution.
Israeli Justice Minister Haim Ramon said it was good for Israel but the country had to pursue its military goals.
