Israel carried out an overnight raid inside Lebanon aimed at disrupting an arms transfer, the Israeli army says, as cited by the BBC.

One soldier died and two were injured in the Bekaa Valley operation, it said.

The incident came hours after UN chief Kofi Annan warned of a "fragile" situation on the ground.

Meanwhile, 50 French troops arrived in the Lebanese port of Naqoura, the first soldiers to bolster the UN force. They are among 200 extra troops promised by France, as the UN struggles to build its force.
