Armed conflicts and attacks

At least 12 people are killed in Israeli air strikes in Lebanon's eastern Bekaa Valley. The missiles struck a number of military compounds belonging to the armed group Hezbollah, including training camps affiliated to its elite Radwan Force. These were the deadliest strikes since a ceasefire ended a year of fighting between Israel and Hezbollah. (BBC News)
