Syrian air defense responds to Israeli aggression.
The Syrian Ministry of Defense announced at Thursday dawn that the Syrian air defenses had responded to Israeli aggression on the central region.
The Syrian Defense said in a statement, "At approximately 12.50 am today, the Israeli enemy carried out air aggression with bursts of missiles directed from the occupied Syrian Golan, targeting some points in the southern region."
Sources indicated that the aggression "led to the martyrdom of a soldier and incurred some material losses."
This comes around a week following the Israeli strike that targeted the container yard in the port of Latakia, western Syria, which did not result in casualties.
Israeli aggression on Latakia Port
The official Syrian news agency SANA reported last week that huge explosions were heard across Latakia Governorate.
"Around 1:23 am today (23:23 GMT Monday), the Israeli enemy carried out an air aggression with several missiles," SANA news agency quoted a military source as saying. The attack targeted the port's container yard, causing a number of containers to burn, but no casualties were reported.
"Our air defenses repelled the Israeli aggression in Latakia," the source confirmed.
