DAMASCUS, Syria (AP) — Syria’s military says Israeli airstrikes over Syria’s central city of Homs and nearby areas have killed and wounded civilians. There was no immediate comment from Israel. The strikes come as tensions across the Middle East grow with the Israel-Hamas war. A Britain-based war monitor says at least six civilians were killed including a woman and a child, along with two militants from the Lebanese Hezbollah group and two people who could not immediately be identified. Israel rarely acknowledges its actions in Syria, but it has said it targets bases of Iran-allied militant groups such as Hezbollah.
