A Syrian military source confirmed that the Israeli occupation forces launched an airstrike on a site near the southeastern entrance of the city of Latakia on Wednesday, injuring several civilians and causing significant material damage to the targeted area.
The source did not provide further details on the specific site targeted but confirmed the extent of the damage and injuries. This latest incident follows a series of Israeli attacks on Syrian territory.
Russia expressed deep concerns over the Israeli occupation's military operations in Syria, with the Russian ambassador to "Israel" voicing Moscow's alarm at the continued Israeli strikes, which have escalated in recent weeks.
Just last week, Israeli forces carried out strikes on industrial areas in Homs' Hassia district and a military site in Hama.
"Israel" has regularly conducted airstrikes in Syria, which frequently result in civilian casualties and damage.
The Syrian Ministry of Defense mentioned that the strikes targeted a car assembly plant, in the Hassia industrial area, in the countryside of Homs, and a Syrian military site in Hama.
Days earlier, an Israeli airstrike targeted a residential building in the Mazzeh neighborhood of Damascus, killing nine people and injuring 14 others.
