Read our privacy policy Israeli airstrikes over Syria's central city of Homs and nearby areas killed and wounded civilians, the Syrian military said Wednesday without giving details. The strikes come as tensions across the Middle East grow with the Israel-Hamas war and a drone attack last month that killed three U.S. troops in northeastern Jordan near the Syrian border. Israel rarely acknowledges its actions in Syria, but it has said it targets bases of Iran-allied militant groups such as Hezbollah, which has sent thousands of fighters to support Syrian President Bashar Assad’s forces.
