Israel has carried out the most intense air strikes on Lebanon in nearly four months, after several rockets were fired from Lebanon into Israel for the first time since a ceasefire came into effect in November. The Israeli military said it had hit dozens of rocket launchers and a command centre belonging to Hezbollah, the Iranian-backed militia and political group, in southern Lebanon. Several armed groups operate in Lebanon, including Hezbollah and Palestinian factions, and no-one has claimed responsibility for the attack. Hezbollah, which is the most powerful of them, said it had no involvement, and that it remained committed to the ceasefire. Lebanon's health ministry said two people, including a child, were killed and eight injured in the strikes.
