Middle East latest: An Israeli strike wounds 2 civilians, Syrian military says

Syria’s military says Israel carried out a strike in the coastal city of Latakia, wounding two civilians and damaging a military post. Israel regularly targets military sites in Syria linked to Iran and to Lebanon’s militant Hezbollah group. It has escalated its campaign against Hezbollah in recent weeks, after a year of near-daily exchanges of cross-border fire. Lebanon says more than 2,300 people have been killed in the past year and 77% of public schools are out of service, either due to their use as shelters or their location in areas directly affected by the war.
