Israel troops 'ignored' UN plea UN peacekeepers in south Lebanon contacted Israeli troops 10 times before an Israeli bomb killed four of them, an initial UN report says. The post was hit by a precision-guided missile after six hours of shelling, diplomats familiar with the probe say. UN-led crisis talks in Rome ended with agreement to work for a ceasefire between Israel and, but stopped short of calling for an immediate truce. Reports say up to 13 Israeli soldiers died in the latest fighting. The four unarmed UN observers from Austria, Canada, China and Finland, died after their UN post was hit by an Israeli air strike on Tuesday. The UN report says each time the UN contacted Israeli forces, they were assured the firing would stop. Israel is conducting an investigation into the deaths, and has rejected accusations made by UN Secretary General Kofi Annan that the targeting of the UN position was "apparently deliberate". 'Utmost urgency' The Rome summit, called by US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, brought together EU and Arab nations plus the US and Russia, but not Israel, Iran or Syria. The conference released a declaration expressing "determination to work immediately to reach with utmost urgency a ceasefire to put an end to the current hostilities". It also said a ceasefire "must be lasting, permanent and sustainable". The statement called for an international force with a UN mandate for south Lebanon, and the full implementation of existing UN Security Council resolutions calling for the disarming of militias and deployment of Lebanese troops in the border region. Mr Annan said it was important to work with the countries of the region, including Syria and Iran, to find a solution to the crisis. But Condoleezza Rice was critical of the role of both countries. "It's not a question of talking to Syria, it's whether Syria's prepared to act," she said. In southern Lebanon, fierce clashes have continued between Israeli forces and Hezbollah fighters around the town of Bint Jbail. Israel has not confirmed any deaths from among its soldiers, but says there have been 20 casualties. Story from BBC NEWS: news.bbc.co.uk Published: 2006/07/26 13:47:06 GMT
