Amnesty International has accused Israel of committing war crimes by deliberately targeting civilian infrastructure in Lebanon.
The human rights group says attacks on homes, bridges, roads and water and fuel plants were an 'integral part' of Israel's strategy in the recent conflict.
The group is calling for a UN investigation into whether both Israel and Hezbollah broke humanitarian law.
Earlier, the EU's Political and Security Committee met in Brussels to discuss the formation of a peacekeeping force for Lebanon.
In over four hours of talks, the committee agreed on the 'urgency' to send troops to the region, although member states did not provide specific numbers about how many they were willing to contribute.
EU foreign policy chief Javier Solana said that 4,000 European soldiers would represent a 'very important presence' in the international force.
However, that number would be far fewer than the force of 15,000 troops that the international peacekeeping force is expected to eventually reach.
With 2,000 UNIFIL troops already in southern Lebanon, the additional force will bolster 15,000 Lebanese soldiers currently deploying in the region
Italy is urging fellow EU member states to send their own soldiers and says it could lead the force with 3,000 troops.
However, Italian Prime Minister Romano Prodi has insisted a new UNSC resolution is needed to clearly define the peacekeepers' role.
Few European countries have yet made firm commitments to send troops.
EU foreign ministers are to hold an emergency meeting on Friday to discuss concerns over the fragile state of the ceasefire in southern Lebanon.
UN special envoy, Terje Roed-Larsen, has warned that even if the deployment of peacekeeping troops goes according to plan the international community has to be realistic about its chances of maintaining peace.
Three killed while clearing unexploded shells
Three Lebanese soldiers have been killed while clearing unexploded Israeli shells in southern Lebanon.
The three men were the first Lebanese troops to die since the army began moving south to bolster a UN-backed truce that halted hostilities between Israel and Hezbollah.
