The IDF confirms carrying out airstrikes near the coastal Syrian city of Latakia a short while ago, saying its fighter jets targeted weapon depots used to store anti-ship missiles.
The missiles had posed a threat to “international and Israeli freedom of navigation,” the military says.
Additionally, the IDF says it struck anti-aircraft missile “components” near Latakia.
It marks the first Israeli airstrike in Syria since May 3.
