Syrian army fighting rebels advancing on city in west

Syrian government forces are battling to stop rebels advancing towards Hama, in the west of the country.

Elsewhere in the region, Benjamin Netanyahu says Israel is still committed to its ceasefire deal with Hezbollah despite carrying out several new drone and artillery strikes in Lebanon today.

But he warned that it does not mean the war is over. Israel’s military has also confirmed that it killed Salman Jumaa, a senior Hezbollah figure responsible for liaising with the Syrian army, in a strike on a car near Damascus.
