BEIRUT, July 14 (Reuters) At least two people were killed and 17 wounded in predawn Israeli air strikes on Hizbollah's southern Beirut stronghold today, the Lebanese guerrilla group's Al-Manar Television said.

At least 55 civilians in Lebanon had already been killed since Israel began its reprisal raids for the capture of two soldiers by Hizbollah on Wednesday.
