At least 42 people have been killed in air strikes in north-west Syria, reports say.

Syria's defence ministry said Israeli planes targeted several sites in the Aleppo countryside at 01:45 on Friday (22:45 GMT Thursday).

A UK-based monitoring group said Hezbollah militants and Syrian soldiers died as a Hezbollah arms store was hit.

Hours later, Israel's military said it had killed a senior Hezbollah figure in an air strike in Lebanon.

Ali Abed Akhsan Naim was a deputy commander of the group's missiles and rockets unit, the Israel Defense Forces said, and was responsible for conducting and planning attacks on Israeli civilians.
