Hezbollah says it's carried out another attack on northern Israel.

The Israeli military confirmed several rockets had

been launched from Lebanon, early on Monday. An officer and a soldier were injured in the attack and have been taken to hospital.

King Abdullah of Jordan has called for further international efforts to prevent a regional expansion of the conflict.

His message came as Jordan's Foreign Minister met with the Iranian President to discuss the situation in the Middle East in a rare visit to Tehran.

During the meeting, the President reiterated that Hamas' political leader Ismail Haniyeh's assassination would not go unanswered.
