Israel on Friday staged what it said was a planned test of a rocket propulsion system at a military base on the Mediterranean coast.

Israeli media, citing analysts, said the test appeared to be of a version of the Jericho ballistic missile with a range of at least 5,000 kilometers (3,100 miles), easily capable of hitting arch-foe Iran.

Caretaker Foreign Minister Adnan Mansour called on Friday for filing a complaint with the United Nations Security Council over Israel's violations of the border and its kidnapping of Lebanese nationals.

The complaint comes after a 15-member Israeli commando forces crossed on Monday the border of the occupied Shebaa Farms in the South, and abducted Lebanese shepherd Youssef Hussein Rhayyel.

Hizbullah deputy Secretary General Sheikh Naim Qassem stated on Friday that the party was expecting to be the target of an attack like the one that took place in the Bir al-Abed neighborhood in Beirut's southern suburb of Dahieh on Tuesday.

He said on the seventh anniversary of the eruption of the July 2006 war: “The Dahieh blast is part of a plan to target the resistance and those backing Israel's agendas were behind it.”

About 80,000 Muslims attended prayers at Jerusalem's Al-Aqsa mosque compound on the first Friday of the Muslim fasting month of Ramadan, Israeli police said.

An Israeli soldier collapses onto the floor of a house in Lebanon, shot by Hizbullah fighters. As his squad mates clear out the second floor, a medic rushes over, pulling on latex gloves and digging into his first aid kit. Gunfire echoes down the stairs as he starts to work on the wound.

The Israeli military experienced this kind of brutal house-to-house warfare during its inconclusive 2006 war with Hizbullah. As it trains in a mock village in its base in the northern Israeli town of Elyakim, it is recreating similar battle scenarios as it prepares for the next confrontation with the Lebanese group. Officials say such a conflict could erupt at any time.

Israel is ready to "immediately" build 10,000 homes in the West Bank and east Jerusalem to lower housing costs, Housing Minister Uri Ariel was quoted as saying on Thursday.

The United States and Israel on Thursday slammed a bid by Iran and Syria to get seats on the U.N. Human Rights Council.

Israel's military is set to change to increase its "technological advantage" over other regional armies, Defense Minister Moshe Yaalon said on Thursday, while cutting away at costly traditional field forces.
