Israeli strikes on Lebanon kill 12, in deadliest attack since November truce

Israeli strikes on Lebanon's Bekaa Valley on Tuesday killed 12 people, the region's governor, Bachir Khodr, told Reuters. 

It marks the deadliest air strikes since a ceasefire was agreed between Israel and Hezbollah in November. Israel has breached the ceasefire and carried out strikes on a near-daily basis.

A security source told Reuters that five of the dead were Hezbollah fighters. Khodr said seven of the dead were Syrian nationals.

Syrians often work in the agricultural fields of the Bekaa region.
