	Description:		Israel's air force says it has hit Hezbollah targets in Lebanon which comes after the deadly rocket strike on a football pitch in the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights that left twelve children and young adults dead and dozens injured, according to Israeli authorities. The Israel Defence Forces said a rocket was fired by the powerful Lebanese militant group Hezbollah, a claim strongly denied by the group. We hear from Lebanon’s Foreign Minister and a government spokesperson. Also on the programme: polls have opened in Venezuela in the most tensely awaited presidential election in more than a decade; and we get the latest on a busy day at the Olympics with Simone Biles making her return to gymnastics.
