Israeli warplanes launched several airstrikes targeting the 110th Brigade in the coastal city of Latakia in western Syria on Thursday morning.
Syrian media sources reported that six successive airstrikes targeted the Brigade, which contains war boats and weapons depots of the former regime.
The Syrian News Agency (SANA) reported that “Israeli warplanes launched several airstrikes in the vicinity of the White Port and the city of Latakia.”
The competent authorities in Latakia are working to ensure that there were no casualties in the targeted locations, it added.
The Syrian Defense Ministry had no immediate comment on the latest Israeli raids on the country, nor did Tel Aviv claim responsibility for the attack or its target.
On Tuesday, seven people were martyred in an Israeli bombing of the western Daraa countryside, hours after Israeli forces targeted Palmyra military airport and sites surrounding the city in the Homs countryside.
For months, Israel has been launching airstrikes on Syria on an almost daily basis, killing civilians and destroying military sites, vehicles and ammunition of the Syrian army.
Israel claims that it wants to prevent the weapons of the former Syrian army from falling into the hands of the new authorities in Damascus.
On December 8, 2024, armed Syrian opposition factions took control of the country, ending 61 years of the Baath Party regime and 53 years of the Assad family’s rule.
Taking advantage of the new situation after the fall of Bashar al-Assad’s regime, Israel occupied the buffer zone with Syria and all of Mount Hermon and penetrated into new areas, announcing the collapse of the 1974 disengagement agreement with Syria.
