Reports in Syria claim that the Israeli Air Force bombed the Latakia port a short while ago.
According to the reports, the strikes targeted Syrian naval assets belonging to the ousted Assad regime.
Following the fall of the Assad regime, the IDF has carried out dozens of strikes in Syria, taking out weaponry Israel fears could fall into the hands of hostile forces.
The strikes have hit advanced missile storage sites, air defense systems, weapon production facilities, and chemical weapons sites.
The strikes have also taken out planes, helicopters and tanks that belonged to the Assad regime army.
