Israel Attacks Lebanon and Syria; Yemen's Houthis Strike Israeli Airport
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Officials in Lebanon say at least five people were killed and five
others wounded Monday as Israeli warplanes struck parts of the eastern
Beqaa Valley. It's Israel's latest violation of a ceasefire deal signed
last November.

Separately, Syrian media reports Israel's Air Force bombed targets in
Homs in central Syria, as well as the coastal city of Latakia and the
historic city of Palmyra. Syria's Foreign Ministry called Israel's
latest strikes "a blatant infringement" of Syrian sovereignty and a
threat to regional stability.

Meanwhile, Yemen's Houthis have claimed responsibility for a drone
attack on an airport near the Israeli Red Sea city of Eilat. Two people
were injured in the attack, which followed Israeli strikes in late
August that killed the Houthi prime minister and other top officials in
Sana'a.
