Israeli missiles have killed at least 14 people in central Syria, state media outlets have reported. The attack on Sunday night sparked a fire and caused material damage near the city of Masyaf, in the Hama province, according to SANA, Syria’s official news agency. The update, which also reported 43 injured, raises the toll of five dead and 19 wounded reported earlier.
Separately, Hezbollah carried out its own attack against Israel on August 25, responding to the killing of one of its top commanders in an Israeli air raid in Beirut which also killed several civilians. Israel had said that it thwarted the operation with a preemptive attack, but the Iran-allied Lebanese group said it successfully hit an Israeli military intelligence site near Tel Aviv.
