Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu joined a meeting of Syria's divided opposition in Istanbul, in what was seen as an effort to break the deadlock in talks.

Israel has said it will act if Russia delivers promised anti-aircraft missiles to its ally Syria, in an apparent allusion to another air raid on the neighbouring country.

Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki has vowed to confront perpetrators of violence following a recent spate of car bombings in and around Baghdad that left at least 68 people dead.

Syrian elite forces and more fighters from the Lebanese Shia group Hezbollah have been sent to reinforce government troops battling rebels in the strategic border town of Qusayr, activists report.

Attacks in several parts of Iraq have killed police and civilians, a day after at least 68 people died in bombings in and around the capital.

US Senator John McCain has crossed from Turkey into Syria to meet with rebel leaders in the war-torn nation, according to his spokesman.

Saudi Arabia's King Abdullah has named his son to head a new national guard ministry, strengthening the force's role in the kingdom as the ruling family grapples with the transfer of power towards a younger generation.

Russia will not cancel plans to deliver an air-defence system to Syria despite Western opposition in order to help deter foreign intervention in the two-year-old conflict, according to the country's deputy foreign minister.

Armed men have killed three Lebanese soldiers at an army checkpoint in the eastern Bekaa Valley, then fled towards the Syrian border, Lebanese officials say.

A Syrian TV correspondent working for a pro-government channel has been killed while covering clashes near the border with Lebanon, the country's Information Ministry says, in the latest death of a journalist in Syria's more than two-year-old conflict.
