Israeli Strikes Target Syria's Latakia and Tartous, Killing One Civilian Israeli airstrikes targeted Syria’s coastal cities of Latakia and Tartous, killing one civilian, according to the Syrian state news agency. The strikes came despite recent diplomatic talks between Israel and Syria’s interim government, which aimed to reduce escalating tensions. The Israeli military confirmed shortly after the attacks that it targeted what it described as weapon storage facilities containing missiles that posed a threat to international and Israeli maritime navigation in Latakia.
The strikes caused the death of a civilian in Latakia, raising concerns over civilian casualties amid ongoing hostilities.Israel has been conducting a campaign of aerial bombardments in Syria for several years, primarily targeting military infrastructure and Iranian-backed forces. These operations intensified after the recent escalation in Gaza, with Israel launching frequent airstrikes as part of its broader security operations.
However, these recent strikes appeared to have slowed down in recent weeks, coinciding with direct negotiations between Israel and Syria’s interim government, aimed at preventing further conflict in a volatile region. Despite the temporary lull, military actions remain a possibility as tensions continue to simmer.
