On December 28, the Israeli Air Force attacked the Syrian port of Latakia. A large fire broke out on the territory of the facility, which was not localized for about eight hours.
The attack was carried out at about 3.21 am local time. The IDF warplanes from the Mediterranean Sea targeted a container site at a commercial port in Latakia with missiles. The strike led to fires and important material damage. No casualties were reported yet.
Syrian air defense systems were activated to repel the attack, but to no avail.
Hours after the attack, Latakia Governor, Eng. Amer Ismail Hilal, has confirmed that the firefighting teams were able to control the fires. According to the SANA news agency, the teams of the fire brigade and civil defense, with the support of the vehicles of the directorates of agriculture, technical services and hygiene in the city council were deployed on the spot.
Israeli officials have not yet commented on this issue. Tel Aviv is not used to explaining details of the strike on Syria.
This is the second aggression against the port in two months. On December 7th, the port of Latakia was attacked by IDF warplanes, but with less significant damage.
Later, on December 16th, a series of Israeli airstrikes targeted positions in Syria’s southern region, according to the SANA.
