In pictures: No Mid-East reprieve

For an eighth day in a row Israeli jets have been bombing targets in Lebanon and Hezbollah militants in Lebanon firing rockets into Israel.

Young children were among the casualties. A missile injured this boy in the southern village of Srifa.

One of the worst-hit places in Lebanon was the market town of Nebatiyeh.

For some, seeing their homes reduced to rubble proved too much.

Shop owners tried to salvage what goods they could.

But in the town of Hadath, where a truck convoy was bombed, there was little to salvage.

Meanwhile, over the border in Israel, Hezbollah-fired rockets are continuing to cause havoc.

This bus was damaged by a rocket which hit a building in the port city of Haifa.

As the violence continues Israel has called up its reserve troops. Here, a woman says goodbye to her partner at Beit Guvrin in southern Israel.

In Beirut there are emotional goodbyes too as many flee the city.

A huge evacuation is under way, with foreign powers getting thousands of their nationals out of the city. Here Australians wait to board a bus.

But many others, like these people in Tyre, are still waiting for news of how and when they can escape the violence.
