Jerusalem: Israel’s fighter planes fired missiles (Israel airstrike on Syria) early Tuesday at the port of the Syrian coastal city of Latakia. The Syrian Military has given this information. He said that no one died in the attack. Syrian state media quoted a military official as saying that missiles fell on the port where several containers were kept, and several containers were set on fire. The official did not give further details on this matter.
Latakia is a very important port for import. It is such a port, where essential goods reach the war-torn country. Syrian state TV reported that five explosions were heard at the port, a massive fire broke out in the area where the containers were kept, after which fire engines were sent to that side. No comment has been made by the Israeli military about this yet. Israel has carried out airstrikes hundreds of times on areas controlled by the Syrian government but has rarely acknowledged it.
Israel targets Iran-backed militias
Earlier, the main airport of Damascus, the capital of Syria, has also been targeted in the Israel Airstrike. However, Israel has acknowledged that its targets have always been Iran-backed militias. This includes the Hezbollah group of Lebanon, which has stationed its fighters in Syria. It has said that it targets shipments of weapons, which it believes are meant for militias. Hezbollah is fighting on behalf of Syrian President Bashar Assad’s forces in a decade-old civil war.
Missiles fired at Damascus airport in October
Israel says that Iran’s presence on its northern frontier is like the Red Line. By citing this, Israel targets weapons bases inside Syria. Prior to this, Israel conducted airstrikes inside Syria in October. Two foreign fighters were killed in the attack, while six Syrian soldiers were wounded. Missiles were fired outside Damascus airport. This attack was carried out by Israel at 9 pm. The drone depot was targeted in the Israeli airstrike. At the same time, an Israeli defense official had acknowledged the attack.
