Israeli airstrikes target military positions in Syria’s Latakia and Tartus provinces
Israeli warplanes carried out a series of airstrikes late Sunday, targeting military positions in Syria's Latakia and Tartus provinces, according to reports from an aircraft observation post.
The strikes reportedly hit several key sites in western Syria, including military bases and ammunition depots. One of the airstrikes caused a violent explosion in the village of Hiresun in Tartus, eyewitnesses and local sources confirmed.
Israel has conducted hundreds of airstrikes in Syria in recent years, primarily aiming to weaken military infrastructure, including weapons stockpiles and facilities linked to Iranian forces and Hezbollah. These strikes have intensified since the collapse of the Baath regime, as regional tensions continue to escalate.
While Israel rarely acknowledges its involvement in specific operations, it has repeatedly stated that its actions are aimed at preventing Iran from establishing a strong military foothold in Syria. (ILKHA)
