Israeli warplanes have attacked suspected guerrilla positions in Southern Lebanon for the third day running.

Radio Lebanon says Israeli planes bombed targets in five areas which are suspected of harbouring guerrillas from the Iranian-backed Hezbollah movement.

The radio said Hezbollah launched an intensive attack on the Israeli-backed South Lebanon Army in Tallat Mash'arun in Tallusah.

There were no reports of casualties.
