BEIRUT (Reuters) - An Israeli air strike killed at least 27 civilians in northeastern Lebanon on Friday and Hizbollah fired scores of rockets into Israel in an escalating conflict that world powers have failed to halt. 

Casualties were ferried to nearby Syria after the raid near Qaa in the Bekaa Valley. Bombs hit a depot where farm workers, many of them Syrian Kurds, were loading fruit onto trucks, security sources said. About 10 people were also wounded.
