Other buildings and targets in the area were also hit by Israeli aircraft seeking Hezbollah leaders thought to be in the area.

Those who did not seek to cross into Israel turned themselves over to Hezbollah leaders.

Israel said it was trying to hit Hezbollah leaders; workers continued to pull bodies out of the rubble there.

But the Hezbollah leader shows little passion or bitterness when asked about the movement's future attitude toward Israel.

He was the most senior Hezbollah leader to die in the war.

The Hezbollah leaders, he said, are not going to risk the same erosion.

Not the Hezbollah leader, he quickly explained; he simply had the same name.

And that is why, if the Hezbollah leader had any honor, he would resign.

The Hezbollah leader later called for talks on prisoner exchange which was officially rejected by Olmert.

The Hezbollah leaders, who have been careful to present the Israeli retreat as a Lebanese victory and not just theirs, are riding high.
