“[A]t 17:22 this afternoon, the Israeli enemy carried out an aggression with bursts of missiles from the direction of the Mediterranean Sea, targeting some air defense sites in Tartous Governorate,” the source stated.
Syrian air defenses intercepted several Israeli missiles over Tartous coming from international water, while some hit a military point between the Deir al-Hajar villages and Al-Jammasa in Tartous countryside, Syrian journalist Ibrahim Mohammad reported.
The attack comes two weeks after the Israeli air force targeted Aleppo International Airport, putting it out of service. In the same month, a Syrian military source reported that a soldier was injured in an Israeli strike targeting the vicinity.
