BEIRUT (AP) — A Lebanese police official says that a Syrian warplane has carried out three airstrikes in the country, killing a farmer.

The police official said the airstrikes occurred early Friday, some four miles (seven kilometers) within Lebanese territory in the northeast near the town of Arsal. The police official said one impacted near a jeep, killing the farmer. The official spoke on condition of anonymity, because he wasn’t allowed to speak to the media.
