DAMASCUS, Syria (AP) — Syria’s state TV says an Israeli strike that hit a residential area in the country’s capital of Damascus has killed two people. In neighboring Lebanon, state media and security officials say an Israeli airstrike killed two people, including a young girl, triggering a rocket attack on a village in northern Israel by the militant Hezbollah group. Syrian state TV reported that several missiles hit the western neighborhood of Kfar Sousseh on Wednesday morning. Israel rarely acknowledges its actions in Syria but has previously said it targets bases of Iran-allied militants, such as Lebanon’s militant Hezbollah group, which has sent thousands of fighters to support Syrian President Bashar Assad’s forces.
