A Hamas delegation is expected in the Egyptian capital at some stage for parallel ‘technical’ talks, Egyptian diplomats said…

At least three Katyusha rockets were fired from southern Lebanon into the northern Israeli area of Nahariya early on Thursday…

Israel immediately responded with five artillery shells into Lebanon, calling it a ‘pinpoint response at the source of fire’.

Correspondents say this is a dangerous moment in the current conflict.

The rocket attacks from Lebanon have raised concerns about a wider war in the region, says the BBC's Middle East Editor Jeremy Bowen.

But the Lebanese Prime Minister Fouad Siniora was swift to condemn the attack, and called for the army and the UN to investigate.

Information Minister Tarek Mitri told the AFP news agency he had been ‘assured’ by the militant group Hezbollah they were not involved in the rocket attacks.
