Israel pounded targets across Lebanon on Sunday, a day before a U.N. cease-fire resolution was to go into effect.

Before dawn, Israeli warplanes bombed a bridge near the northern town of Halba in the remote Akkar region bordering Syria, destroying the bridge and wounding two people, local television and security officials said.

In eastern Lebanon, the area of Ali Nahri in Bekaa Valley near the border with Syria was also raided by Israeli planes.

A woman and her three children were killed in another air raid targeting areas near the southern coastal city of Tyre, the Lebanese television LBC reported.

At Aita al-Fukhar in the western Bekaa Valley, an Israeli drone fired a missile on a Lebanese army vehicle, wounding two of its occupants, witnesses and security officials said.

The latest air strikes came a day before a U.N.-imposed cease-fire was to halt the monthlong fighting between Israel and Lebanon's Hezbollah guerrillas.

U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan said on Saturday that the prime ministers of Lebanon and Israel have agreed on an end to hostilities as of 0500 GMT on Monday.

On Friday, the U.N. Security Council unanimously adopted Resolution 1701, calling for an end to the bloodshed and for the deployment of a 15,000-strong international peacekeeping force to prevent further conflict.

More than four weeks of conflict have left more than 1,100 dead, mainly in Lebanon.
