BEIRUT (AP) — Lebanese state media say Israeli ground forces have reached their deepest point in Lebanon since invading six weeks ago, but they pulled back after battles with Hezbollah militants. Elsewhere in Lebanon, a strike killed a couple and their four children. In Israel, the military says a Hezbollah rocket struck a synagogue and hurt two civilians. The clashes and further bombardment came as Lebanese and Hezbollah officials study a draft proposal presented by the U.S. on ending the war. Lebanon’s health ministry says 80% of the more than 3,400 people killed in Lebanon by Israeli fire have died in the past eight weeks.
