Sudan's Deputy Chairman of the Sovereign Council Mohamed Hamdan 'Hemedti' Dagalo and Russian Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak discussed ways to boost bilateral relations between Khartoum and Moscow.

Sudan welcomed holding the Seventh Joint Ministerial Economic Committee session in Khartoum during the first half of 2022. As well as training, capacity building, and peaceful uses of nuclear energy, it focuses on electricity, gas, and oil.

Sudan, according to Novak, is a Russian partner in Africa.

“We have significant potential for establishing a harmonious dialogue, as well as for expanding economic, trade, and investment cooperation,” he said.

Hezbollah said its fighters on Thursday fired missiles at a military base near south Israel’s Ashdod, the first time it has targeted so deep inside Israel in more than a year of hostilities.

Hezbollah fighters "targeted... for the first time, the Hatzor air base" east of the southern city, around 150 kilometers from Lebanon’s southern border with Israel, "with a missile salvo," the Iran-backed group said in a statement.

A rocket fired from Lebanon killed a man and wounded two others in northern Israel on Thursday, according to the Magen David Adom rescue service.
The service said paramedics found the body of the man in his 30s near a playground in the town of Nahariya, near the border with Lebanon, after a rocket attack on Thursday.
Israel meanwhile struck targets in southern Lebanon and several buildings south of Beirut, the Lebanese capital.

Israel has launched airstrikes against Lebanon after Hezbollah began firing rockets, drones and missiles into Israel the day after Hamas' attack on Israel last October. A full-blown war erupted in September after nearly a year of lower-level conflict.
More than 3,500 people have been killed in Lebanon, according to the country’s Health Ministry, and over 1 million people have been displaced. It is not known how many of those killed were Hezbollah fighters and how many were civilians.
On the Israeli side, Hezbollah’s aerial attacks have killed more than 70 people and driven some 60,000 from their homes.
