Fire breaks out in Syria’s Latakia city after Israeli attack: Report
Syrian state news agency SANA has now reported that “anti-aircraft defence intercepted hostile targets above Latakia” and fires broke out after the attack. “Fires were triggered by the Israeli aggression” at the entrance to Latakia, SANA said.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR), a UK-based monitor, said the Israeli strike “targeted a weapons depot in Latakia city”.
Though Israel’s military has launched hundreds of strikes against targets in Syria in recent years, it rarely admits to its military campaign against what it says are Iran-aligned and supported armed groups in the country.
