JERUSALEM, July 31 -- Israel rejected the prospect of a cease-fire in the coming days in its war with Lebanon's Hezbollah militia, launching new ground and air operations against the radical Shiite Muslim group a day after announcing a 48-hour partial suspension of airstrikes in the wake of a devastating attack on a south Lebanese village.

Later Monday, Israel's security cabinet unanimously approved a widening of the ground operations in Lebanon in a four-hour meeting, government officials said.
